European Central Bank fails to attract enough female applicants to fill own quota

Article here. Excerpt:

'The European Central Bank is struggling to attract enough women to meet its self-imposed quotas for female staff in the first round of a hiring spree as it prepares to take on supervision of the continent’s largest banks next year.

The central bank has so far confirmed Daniele Nouy, previously in charge of France’s prudential supervisor, as the head of its Single Supervisory Mechanism.

But applications from women in the first round of hiring have fallen short of the ECB’s own targets for other senior and middle management positions, according to an official familiar with the hiring process, who did not specify by how much. Around 100 jobs have so far been advertised and have closed to new applications.'
