Associate Recruitment

We are proud of our success in creating a company where our associates can build rewarding careers in financial services, client support, and technology with one of the industry's most collaborative and creative teams. The entrepreneurial spirit that launched our firm in 1890 is as relevant as ever and a key quality we seek and nurture in our people. The value we bring to Stifel tomorrow is rooted in who we recruit to join our team today.

Associate Development

Cultivating a growth mindset in our associates and empowering them to constantly pursue education is core to our culture and to their professional advancement. We are committed to investing in talent, promoting associates based on performance, and maintaining a welcoming culture that is built on serving others. This is how we have become a Firm of Choice: an organization that offers support, resources, and opportunities that help our associates grow, thrive, and make a meaningful impact.

Associate Retention

As the health and well-being of our associates is vital to the success of our company, we have evolved to a whole-person approach, offering a competitive total rewards package that addresses physical, mental, social, and financial well-being within the broader organizational goals. This evolution reflects a deeper understanding that supporting workplace well-being extends beyond addressing crises to curating a suite of benefits that promote healthy lifestyle choices.

Where Success Meets Success reflects our belief that great people drive great results. Recruiting and retaining top talent remains central to Stifel's continued growth. Julie Flynn
