Fiduciam is to hire 10 graduates this year in an expansion of its graduate programme.
This is an increase from the seven graduates Fiduciam took on in 2020.
The graduates will take on a range of roles, including case manager, operations analyst and software developer positions. Fiduciam’s graduate positions are in London, Belfast and Hilversum (Netherlands). All positions are currently open for applications.
The graduate scheme is supported by Fiduciam’s training programme which consists of 50 modules, such as cashflow analysis, real estate valuation, legal documentation and credit analysis.
Fiduciam is a signatory of the Women in Finance Charter, and says it takes pride in its workforce diversity, with its employees coming from 17 different countries and speaking 21 languages.
Johan Groothaert (pictured), Fiduciam’s CEO, said: “We are very proud of our graduate programme as it has allowed talented individuals to shine and make rapid progress in their careers. Indeed, entrepreneurial and dynamic financial services providers like ourselves are able to offer graduates much more responsibility and a more wide-ranging experience than what can be achieved at the banks and established asset managers.
“One of the often-reported issues of the private lending and marketplace lending industry is that companies do not spend enough resources on attracting fresh talent and growing such talent, yet this new talent brings new perspectives and raises the bar for the entire industry. We have seen very good results from this approach, with our operations team and our Spanish team being run by high achievers that joined Fiduciam only a few years ago as graduates. Most of our underwriters also joined as graduates in case management roles.
“I would like to offer all young graduates the same great experience I had when I joined the financial services industry. There is nothing more important for long-term career prospects than a successful start when out of university.”
