RECRUIT DIVERSE TALENT
Build a Diverse Pipeline of Talent
We will work with you to help strengthen your pipeline of diverse talent. With access to nearly 100,000 CFP® professionals, our Career Center, and relationships with over 200 schools and universities, CFP Board can help connect you with diverse individuals seeking careers in the financial services industry.
Increase the Number of CFP® Professionals at Your Firm
Consumers who work with a CFP® professional are more satisfied than consumers who work with a financial planner who is not certified. We can help you grow your firm's number of CFP® professionals.
