Is the risk management recruitment market sexist?
Sexism, or more particularly discrimination against women, is not an issue in risk management recruitment. Although there is no statistical evidence, there is also very little anecdotal evidence that women who decide to make a long-term career in risk management are discriminated against. If they have the ability and ambition they can, like men, expect to be successful purely on the basis of merit. A good example of this is the fact that, at present, there is a relatively balanced number of both male and female Senior Risk Officers in the Banking and Financial Services industry sectors.
