STX Recruitment Experts: 4 Out of Their 5 New Hires Are Women

In this episode, we sit down with Leah Shine and Carline Mohr from our client STX, a global trading company. During their most recent recruitment round for a highly competitive traineeship, four out of five hires were women, an outcome that challenges the status quo in an industry where fewer than 20% of traders are female. It’s a powerful reminder that this gap doesn’t reflect a lack of ability, but rather a missed opportunity to recognize and support the cognitive strengths and potential women bring to trading.

Together we explore how to attract and empower more women in the workplace, why more women are stepping into new opportunities, and how we can create more inclusive and supportive recruitment processes. We also dive into confidence, employer branding, and practical advice for young professionals entering the workforce.
