On a mission to close the gender gap in tech

The tech industry is faced with a hiring challenge. Hiring Engineers in itself is a difficult task, let alone hiring women for your product and engineering teams

That’s where Xena comes in. Work with us and gain access to our gender-diverse talent pool including Senior Engineer, Product and Leadership talent.

What we do

We only recruit women

We hire women in Engineering and Product for companies who are serious about closing the gender gap on their tech team. Whether it is finding diverse talent, or building a culture that attracts and retains diverse talent. We have a track record of building highly successful teams at Europe’s leading tech companies.

Focus on women in tech and women in leadership

We know how difficult it is to build diverse and inclusive teams. As long as you’re truly committed to making a change, we can help you on your journey of organisational transformation. Whether it’s an Engineer, Lead, Principal or Executive level we believe a higher concentration of women from diverse backgrounds need to reside and we champion their success.

Support for women and girls in STEM

Increase job well-being with Xena’s workshops and Bootcamps to give back to girls in STEM. We tailor live coding workshops and host biannual BootCamps to empower your employees to support the progression of girls and women in technology.

Customise employer branding packages

The gender gap in technology is every employer’s responsibility. Our candidates care about equal representation in the workplace. We know 68% of women choose what company to work for based on DE&I eminence. Allow our in-house creative team to customise content that puts your company in the spotlight.

Host a Meetup in your office

Our Meetups bring our fast-growing passionate community together to share experiences and strategise for change. Connect, network and meet the Xena Community face-to-face and show that you are an employer that truly cares about the progression of women in technology.

“Being a part of Xena provides a platform to be involved at a grassroots level, while having an opportunity to continuously learn. It brings a focus on STEM, while identifying that action is needed to bring the entire ecosystem together – this is exciting and unique! I am thrilled to be an ally, advocate, and to be truly involved with Xena!”

Dipti Dhawan

VP of Engineering at Omnius

“I feel like Xena is different than other recruitment agencies, the recruiter was like a coach to me. The recruiter believed in me and made me believe in myself. It’s not easy to move to a different company, country and culture – everything is different and scared me. The recruiter made me feel comfortable in every step. I kept getting asked how I felt during every step and if I wanted to move forward.”

Amal Drira

Software Engineer at Zalando

“Sometimes women are not taken seriously in engineering roles and it is important to have representation in the market. Having Xena as an allay to protect my interests and look out for me was a great thing to have. I felt I was treated equally to any other candidates and this was amazing.”
