Attracting and retaining top talent is a challenge and priority that Florida banks face. We continually hear from our members how difficult it is to find quality employees and that the pool of available candidates has decreased exponentially over the last decade due to many factors; including changing demographics, negative press, and increasing regulations. The solution is here and it is BankTalentHQ.
BankTalentHQ is designed as a talent management resource for the financial industry and is brought to you by FIBA, in partnership with other state banking associations across the country. BankTalentHQ is the premier talent management site for financial industry careers.
“The banking industry was lacking a dedicated and focused, full-service talent management site, and that’s what BankTalentHQ brings,” said David Schwartz, President, and CEO of FIBA. “BankTalentHQ will connect top talent — including candidates who currently are outside the industry — to your institution. It will be the one-stop shop for your talent management needs.”
The main focus of the website, located at www.banktalenthq.com, will be the job board, which will allow you to post job openings for your institutions, with the ability to purchase a single 30-day post or a discounted posting package to fill multiple vacancies. The website will also allow internships to be posted at a discounted rate. Ancillary services currently being offered include industry news and articles, resume writing tips, career learning center, career/sales/management coaching, and Micro-internships. To make the site even more robust and tailored to your institution, additional services like career paths, job summaries, executive recruitment, and outplacement are in development. David Schwartz, explains, “The goal is to create a national brand with a holistic talent management website for the financial services industry. It will continue to evolve as needs and trends arise.”
BankTalentHQ will be marketing to candidates outside of the industry to pique their interest in banking careers, the key to driving additional talent into the financial services industry. The intention is to show the full scope of available jobs, from operations and human resources to financial management and marketing. We are in an exciting industry with endless opportunities, and BankTalentHQ will help that excitement resonate with potential candidates, drawing them into the industry.
In order for the site to grow quickly, we need job posts from as many Florida banks as possible. The more jobs posted, the easier it will be to build the talent pool of resumes. For a limited time, we will be offering DISCOUNTED postings for FIBA Members to assist in the progression of the site.
