Global Early Careers Recruitment Lead at Fidelity International
About
Bio: Shaun is the Global Early Careers Lead at Fidelity International. Shaun has 20+ years leading Early Careers recruitment across the Financial Services Industry, collaborating with diversity partners internally and externally to drive greater awareness, curiosity and empowerment to future under-represented job-seeking communities. As an openly gay man, Culture, Values and Purpose and intrinsically important to ensure that the working environment and our people are advocates (and practitioners) for diversity and inclusion. Having created a number of tailored channels to attract under-represented candidates into our industry over the last 2 decades, Shaun consider it to be not only a privilege, but a responsibility to continue driving the LGBT agenda internally and externally and to ensure we widen our networks and channels though which to attract, assess and welcome richly diverse talent pools to Fidelity International.
Shaun comments:
"Being a Project 1000 role model holds a great responsibility. I would take great pride in sharing my story and my experiences and how I have managed the ever-changing emotions and feelings that come with being your whole-self in the workplace. I feel that it is important to redefine often-misaligned perceptions of our industry and how I can play a role in empowering others to celebrate their authentic selves and help drive a natural agenda of diversity growth within our organisation. Half the challenge is the willingness to listen/to understand the challenges others have faced. The other half of the challenge is ensuring we are continuing to drive change with diversity remaining at the top of the agenda."
