Case Study
BUILDING A DIVERSE TEAM @ DELOITTE
Code First Girls partnered with Deloitte to support their early career tech consulting teams across the UK, with a particular focus on sourcing candidates in the South West of England and Bristol area.
BLOWN AWAY BY
CANDIDATE POTENTIAL
Deloitte and Code First Girls have been working together for years, and they were a perfect partner for the first CFGdegree cohort. With 30 roles to fill, Deloitte specifically wanted to target the emerging tech-hub of South-West England; Bristol. Not only did Deloitte hire all 30 CFGdegree scholars that they funded, but they were also so blown away by the candidates that they hired additional CFGdegree candidates from the Code First Girls community.
