ABOUT THE FINANCIAL SERVICES FORUM
Applying an approach that resulted in 19 job offers while in business school for the two co-founders, functional business experience and recent insight from practical experience leading talent initiatives, we created jumpstart.
Over the last 3 years, more than 500 members from the Jumpstart network were hired into the financial services industry or finance function. Specific to our diversity forum, a high percentage of attendees were invited to 1:1s w/corporate partners on site before matriculation at business school.
Our partners attend JumpStart diversity forums to engage with our talent pool focused on professional development , exposure to specific industry and functions, feature of the company – culture – people, and ensure an understanding of the recruiting process all while getting to know you.
