Belvedere Trading is a leading options market-making firm. Their focus is on providing liquidity to global markets by offering both bids and offers for others to trade against.

Challenges

Expanding diversity in a traditionally homogenous industry

  • Recruiting more women and underrepresented minorities into trading and tech
  • Expanding reach beyond traditional candidate pools
  • Building a sustainable, diverse pipeline for internships and early-career roles

The trading and tech industries have historically lagged in bringing women into the workforce. Belvedere recognized the importance of diversifying their pipeline, both for gender and racial representation.

“The tech and trading industry has historically been behind the times when it comes to bringing women into the work.”

Despite strong opportunities in trading and technology, Belvedere struggled to connect with women and underrepresented minorities at scale through traditional recruiting channels.

Solution

Partnering with RTC to access early-career women in tech

  • Strategic partnership with RTC to access diverse early-career talent
  • Recruiting through RTC’s events and community
  • Long-term relationship-building with underrepresented candidates

Belvedere found a natural partner in RTC, a nonprofit dedicated to advancing women in technology.

“Rewriting the Code has given us tremendous access to women and underrepresented minorities within the tech industry, and that has been invaluable to our recruiting strategy.”

Through RTC’s programs and community, Belvedere gained traction with early-career women in tech, expanding their visibility and impact.

Belvedere is among RTC’s most committed partners, consistently seeking to grow the number of women in their workforce and to broaden access to opportunities in tech and trading.

Results

Thousands of candidates and measurable hiring impact

  • 4,500+ RTC applicants tracked in Belvedere’s system
  • 40+ RTC candidates recruited this season alone
  • 9 offers extended, 5 acceptances (internships + full-time)
  • Year-over-year growth in diverse hires

Since partnering with RTC, Belvedere has seen steady growth in both applications and hires from underrepresented groups.

“The biggest benefit of working with Rewriting the Code has been the growth and traction and access to this early-career talent that we normally wouldn’t.”

The partnership has produced measurable results: thousands of RTC candidates in their applicant tracking system, dozens interviewed each year, and consistent offer accepts.

Belvedere’s experience shows the power of pairing a clear DEI commitment with the right partner.

“If you are interested in diverse perspectives, incredible talent, and those eager to connect with you, a partnership [with RTC] would be a no-brainer.”
