In financial services, we constantly talk about a widening skill gap. Yet, thousands of highly capable professionals are automatically filtered out daily simply because they don't possess a traditional, linear financial degree on paper.

Whether returning from a career break or pivoting from entirely different sectors, these "transitioners" aren't a hiring risk. They possess deep cognitive resilience and unique transferable skills that traditional pipelines fail to deliver.

To help you unlock this talent pool, our upcoming interactive webinar, moderated by Patricia Callan (Head of Sectors – Ibec & Director - FSI), brings together pioneering industry voices to share a proven hiring and retention framework.

Here is exactly what our panel will unpack:

  • The Employer's Blueprint: Learn from Paul Daly (Fexco) on how to look past a traditional resume to spot raw potential and drive.
  • The Reality of Transition: Hear how Andrea Campbell (beauty industry to finance) and Margus Laissaar (Navy to finance) overcame initial fears to build thriving financial careers.
  • Supportive Frameworks: Discover how to structure on-the-job training, onboarding, and flexible arrangements so cross-sector hires succeed.
  • The Digital Landscape: Understand the real impact of AI resume screening and online personal branding on non-traditional applications.
