Board Candidate Search for Companies

Advantages of Diverse Boards

International researchers like the Research Institute for International Management of the University of St. Gallen in Switzerland have proven that diversity can offer three main advantages to associations. The measurable impact on the bottom line has been proven by several scientific studies.

Knowledge Variety

Diversity increases the variety of know-how and viewpoints and hence can enable organisations to handle complex tasks efficiently and successfully.

Larger Networks

Thanks to diverse networks, organisations get connected with a larger part of their external eco-system and benefit from new assets and valuable open doors.

Social Governance

Organisations can create an inclusive culture and showcase to talents and stakeholders how they value equal opportunities.

How the “Female Board Pool” initiative can help you

When recruiting new board members, organisations have to leave the beaten – often biased – track. To find board members best-suited to face today’s challenges, they must break new ground instead of just searching for more of the same.

The International Female Board Pool initiative can support you not just in fulfilling ESG (Environmental Social Governance) or legal requirements for board diversity, but even help you fill gaps in the skill set currently represented on a board:

  • Our database of 840+ profiles of board-ready or board-experienced women spans all industry sectors as well as private, public and non-profit associations.
  • We match candidates to your board’s requirements by know-how and expertise in any area, from auditing, customer centricity or digitalisation to HR, legal or product development etc.
  • Diverse social skills, assertiveness and international experience round off the profiles of the candidates, who have also all demonstrated their board-readiness or board experience in our admission seminar.

Find qualified and motivated female board candidates with our professional board search services now!

Let us help you find the appropriate female board members who are competent and dedicated.

Private companies, public institutions as well as non-profit associations in Luxembourg benefit even free-of-charge from our professional counseling and matching services. In Luxembourg, our services are covered by the Luxembourg Ministry of Equality between women and men, which has been endorsing and co-financing our initiative since 2010. In other countries, we offer regular board candidate search services free of charge to our sponsors.

Interested in showing your social responsibility as a sponsor of the International Female Board Pool initiative? Contact us right away!

This offer includes tailor-made assistance for each institution / company, applying research-based methods of analysing requirements and selecting a short list of suitable candidates. Thus, you save time and effort instead of searching through databases. You can be sure of search results that effectively fit the needs of your board.

The INTERNATIONAL FEMALE BOARD POOL initiative is connected to the International Board Foundation (icfcg.org) and its Swiss Board School/IMP of the University of St. Gallen in Switzerland and is endorsed and financially supported by the Ministry of Equality between Women and Men (MEGA) in Luxembourg.

What are the steps to take to improve your board recruiting?

In a discovery session, we will analyse your board requirements and potential gaps in the current situation together using the tried-and-tested, scientific method of the International Centre for Corporate Governance in cooperation with the IMP-HSG of the University of St. Gallen.

Comparing your requirements to the experiences and skills of the candidates in the Female Board Pool, we will select a list of matching profiles.

Once we have presented the list of matching profiles to you, it’s up to you to decide, with which of the candidates you would like to start the process of interviewing etc., possibly leading to a mandate eventually.

Once a mandate is confirmed, we would be delighted to hear from you. An endorsement will not just help promote the Female Board Pool initiative, but will also highlight how your organisation is meeting its social responsibilities.
