Closing the gender gap in tech

“It’s been a week since I attended Finding Your Niche In Tech hosted by Xena & HelloFresh. It was a pleasure listening to these wonderful women. I channeled all of the advice into my work week and I’m proud of the outcome!”.

“Thank you Xena and my amazing team for hosting this inspiring event!”.

“Xena is the perfect partner for diversity hiring. They have the capacity to fill our tech and product roles with women in tech to ensure we create a diverse team that matches our culture. Since working with Xena we have increased the diversity within HelloFresh and improved our DE&I employer branding by becoming their partner.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“Very proud of being part of this initiative! A huge thanks to my company FUGA for engaging us in making a difference in bringing equality to tech, and also to our partners Xena and VHTO.”

“I had a good time going through the recruitment process with Lovet from Xena, not only was she warm and sweet, she showed gestures to make my move easier. And yes I love the welcome package, that was sweet too.”

“The work We Are Xexa does is so good and was essential for me to get a job offer in Germany. I’m very thankful for the work Lovett and her colleagues did! Would recommend 100%.”

“We’re very excited to sponsor this award together with Xena to highlight and get inspired by women in the industry. As the lead sponsor of the Gender Equality Team – our Employee Resource Group focused on improving gender diversity, equity, and inclusion at HelloFresh – I am proud of the different initiatives we have in place to hire more women in tech and support their career progressions such as the Women in Tech Scholarship and our annual review of the gender split on promotion rates.”

Throughout my career, I’ve always tried to champion women’s empowerment in the workplace and beyond, which is why it makes me so proud that Uber is sponsoring an award to celebrate “Women in Leadership”. As a tech company operating in the mobility industry, Uber faces a two-layered challenge: women are underrepresented in both tech and mobility, in leadership positions and the workforce as a whole. At Uber, we are committed to empowering women in our workplace – through initiatives like our “Women at Uber” ERG or targeted mentoring – as well as within our industry – through several programs to support female drivers. I’m thrilled we are partnering with Xena, and I’m excited to see what we can do together to further “Women in Leadership” at Uber and across the industry.
