Our STEM Women Community

Over 5,000 students have attended a STEM Women event since 2018, meeting over 180 graduate employers. Our events are aimed at individuals who identify as female, and the most popular courses studied by the attendees were Computer Science and Data subjects (27%), followed by Engineering related disciplines (22%). The highest proportion of attendees were in their final year of study at university. 12,000 women follow STEM Women across our social media channels, and our events are promoted by relevant university departments, student societies and careers services.

How our events will work online

Our online platform has many benefits for employers. Companies can engage with students via webchat, and decide which conversations get progressed to a voice or video call. They can also assign enquires to suitable representatives based on the students’ CV/bio, and deliver speaker sessions that can be viewed live or played back. Our favourite feature is a “sourcing” tool that enables companies to see who is active within the fair, to filter by course, and to then reach out and initiate a chat with their chosen attendees. So there’s no need to worry about a star candidate walking past the stand!

Autumn 2020 Graduate Careers Events

Our 2020 regional events will be marketed to students studying at a university based within a designated area and will attract employers from many different industry sectors. There will be separate events covering South West and South Coast England and South Wales, Midlands, London and Home Counties, North West England and North Wales, North East England and Yorkshire, Scotland, Ireland and The Netherlands. We will also be running two sector specific events, aimed at students who are targeting careers within technology or financial services. All our events will provide employers with an opportunity to meet highly relevant students seeking internships, placements and graduate jobs

Technology Experienced Hire Event

Our inaugural experienced hire event will enable employers to network with professionals working within the technology sector. We have been running graduate level events since 2018 and many of our community members are now early year professionals working within industry. Our event will combine keynote speakers, skill sessions and career networking. It will attract passive and active job hunters who will meet with relevant employers.

STEM Women Background...

We work with employers who want to attract more applications from female university graduates in order to attain a more diverse workforce by hiring STEM Women. We help hiring managers in recruiting a diverse workforce by introducing graduate recruiters to our female STEM community. STEM Women runs events throughout the UK, Ireland and The Netherlands and we also offer a job board, CV search and applicant shortlisting service to help you hire STEM women.

Context: Why it is hard to hire STEM Women Graduates

There is a growing expectation for hiring managers to achieve a gender balanced graduate intake, whilst also attracting the strongest talent available and filling the required number of roles.

In some sectors, it is almost impossible to achieve ambitious hiring targets whilst also maintaining a gender balance. According to WISE, a community interest company that encourages women into STEM education and industries, for the third year in a row just 14% of engineering graduates are female and only 15% of computer scientists are female, down from 16% last year.

As a result, the competition to attract applications from talented female students is intense. Engineering, finance and tech focussed companies must take positive action in order to get women to apply for their graduate jobs and we are here to help them.

How to hire STEM Women

Positive Action: How we can help your company recruit female employees, hire STEM women and achieve gender equality in the workplace

We have grown a community of female students through developing relationships with university departments, social influencers and word of mouth.

Our STEM Women communities meet graduate employers at our physical and virtual events.

Options: STEM Women female recruitment packages to suit each company

• Exhibitor Packages – Companies can pay to exhibit at a STEM Women careers event in their desired location. Students approach the employers throughout the afternoon and the busy, engaging networking sessions are the highlight of each event.
• Speaker Packages – Each event has an area for employer talks, enabling companies to speak directly to students and to participate in a panel discussion. These sessions are popular with students and employers, providing companies with an opportunity to educate students about their brand and their internship, placement and graduate scheme opportunities. For virtual events, talks are streamed live.
• Sponsorship Packages – A small number of sponsorship packages are available at each of our events. These packages offer event naming rights, an invitation to speak to all attendees during a welcome talk and branding opportunities.
• Digital and PR – Employers can list vacancies on our female recruitment website, sponsor selected jobs and place banner advertising. We can work with companies to create relevant content that can be shared via our online blogs and through our social channels.
• Candidate Sourcing – We have a team of specialist recruitment consultants who offer a fee per placement or fee per assessment centre attendee service. This service is particularly well suited to companies who need to attract applicants to an assessment centre at short notice and those with an immediate graduate job that needs filling.
• Bespoke Campaigns – We work with a small number of graduate employers who want the ultimate access to our STEM Women Community. Our STEM Women team can contact selected students on behalf or our clients. We can deliver applications from pre-screened students and graduates or run bespoke company specific events.
