Our people 33 Attracting and mobilizing our people EMEIA FS is a growing business Since it was established in 2008, we have had 4,053 new joiners, of which 40% were graduates and 60% were experienced hires. While doubling the number of experienced hires from 2014 to 2015, we increased the percentage of women from 39% to 40%. Recruiting the best talent The war for talent is fierce and we are committed to hiring the best, ensuring our profile represents the communities we serve. This means constantly looking for new sources of talent: • We conducted a gender mapping search of women in the FS industry. • We are implementing a partner recruitment strategy that supports a higher proportion of women for direct admission partners (DAPs) in the future, with a target of 15%. • Our graduate recruitment accounts for 45% of all hiring activity in the UK. In an effort to limit any potential bias, this year we made our student recruitment programs blind. This means we invite candidates to a first interview on the basis of their performance in online strengths-based assessments only — not academic grades, positions of responsibility or work experience. There is no CV filtering outside of this process, which eliminates the risk of name and gender bias, and we do not require candidates to meet an academic benchmark to be eligible to apply. For the first time this year, we will also be operating a similar pilot for our experienced hires. 15% Target for women direct admission partners (DAPs) in EMEIA FS in 2016 This is about widening the gate to make sure we are recruiting the best talent. We believe this is the right thing to do, not just for EY, but to open the UK’s working world to talented individuals from all backgrounds, and we welcome the commitments from the government and other organizations to run similar programs.

Our people 34 Attracting and mobilizing our people Developing a global mindset Having the highest-performing teams depends on our people’s ability to work without borders and have leaders with a truly global mindset. The FS industry operates globally and across sectors, so we need to seamlessly meet its needs. We encourage international assignments and experiences through a variety of programs, including Global Exchange and our New Horizons scheme. I spent three months in the EY London office as a member of the FS Sustainability team. During my time with the team, I was able to gain valuable experience. Because of this great experience, I developed knowledge in many areas, especially sustainability risks, FinTech and alternative finance, and am now considering a professional future in this area. Sebastian Krause AuditPlus trainee, EY Germany This establishes a clear link between career mobility (be it geographic, service line or sector-based) and career development — recognizing those who share their knowledge and experience beyond their immediate teams. 15% increase in international assignments: 457 in 2015 Appendices Our communities Our people Our clients Introduction
