Germany’s leading recruiting program for refugees

Every other woman works in a job below her qualifications, something that is even more common among women with refugee or migrant backgrounds. We are committed to unlocking their true potential by connecting highly qualified women with the jobs they deserve.

Gender and ethnic diversity for your company

Only 1.5% of leadership positions in Germany are held by women with a migrant background. Our Female Accelerator Programs create the impact we need with our partners: as attractive employers, future-forward companies and as a society.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

What are the advantages of taking part as a company?

Our Female Accelerator Program is the leading hiring program for women with a migrant or refugee background in Germany. Our unique approach is due to our exceptional talents and their profiles that are often overseen by traditional recruiters. Most of FAP’s women have studied, speak several languages and are highly motivated to kick-start their future career in Germany. Companies from previous cohorts frequently praise the positive impact the program and their trainees have had on the entire organisation, the workplace culture and atmosphere.

Additionally, we have created a community of companies committed to making a change in society by championing Diversity Excellence and are actively showing that integration works.

Do Female High Potentials speak English? What are their qualifications?

Most of our Female High Potentials speak German and/or English at an advanced level. Our women often have higher education degrees (bachelor, master).

All our talents have a valid work permit (“Arbeitserlaubnis”). With this permit, they are allowed to work in Germany, Austria or Switzerland.

Why focus on Female Hiring?

At socialbee, we intentionally focus on those most affected by the gender, ethnic, and skills gap: women with refugee and migrant backgrounds, many of whom are highly qualified but often end up working in low-skill jobs. Because of that, their individual potential and our society's collective potential often go untapped.
Companies from previous cohorts often speak about the “positive aura“ that this shared focus on equal opportunity and diverse recruitment brings into their organizations.

How much does a slot in the program cost?

The costs depends on your individual needs as a company. That’s why our first get-to-know is always free of charge and we will provide additional information in case you need it.

How is socialbee funded?

socialbee is a non-profit organisation. The majority of our funding comes from the revenue of our programs and cooperations. In case you are interested about supporting us through alternative means, you can find more information in the “Support” section of our website.
