Benefits of being an AD Partner

We are building Access Distributed to become a trusted brand that evens the recruiting playing field for non-target schools/all socioeconomic backgrounds, enhancing the finance talent pool.

You will receive access to top talent. We recruit and select the best students at non-target schools with the highest potential to succeed in a career in finance. Our network includes faculty and administrators from over 160 schools, as well as over 1,700 students across the country.
AD Fellows are desk-ready by the time they begin their internships. Through our education and training program, students develop a deep understanding of the financial industry and current market trends. Our projects and case studies offer students on-the-job experience before they land at their desks.
Our goal is to make your recruiting process as easy and efficient as possible. Partners have early access to top talent through virtual events, our mentorship program, and frequent conversations with your hiring team. We also offer full recruiting services, including sourcing candidates, providing interview operations, and assisting in final offers.
