Graduate FinTech recruiting

It’s very easy to focus on a fintech candidate’s skills on paper.

For example, problem-solving, analytical skills, tech knowledge, and first-class degrees.

However, communication skills are just as important to consider when looking for fintech employees.

It’s so important to find candidates with adaptable skills that enable them to work both independently as well as part of a team.

They must be able to interact with managers, colleagues, and clients on both a professional and personal level.

Our fintech staffing solutions are thorough. So, we speak to every candidate at least twice over the phone before we put them forward in a shortlist to our clients.

This means that we’re only passing on candidates that we feel will be the very best fit, on the basis of their CV and their character.

Key to attracting the right fintech talent to your business is having an accurate and attractive job description.

There is no way around it: in the job market, job descriptions are valuable currency.

Without an appealing one, you’re putting yourself at a disadvantage. All effective financial technology recruitment begins here.

If you’re looking for instant fintech talent solutions, start here.

Read our useful tips on how to write a job description that will attract the right calibre of candidates:

Have a compelling opening section to your fintech job description

The fintech industry is an exciting and quickly developing industry. So, it’s important to give candidates an insight into what they can gain from a role in this industry.

Have a job overview section at the top of your vacancy and use this as a chance to sell the role and your company.

Some fintech candidates may be highly experienced and have certain requirements from a role, so it’s crucial to grab candidates’ attention early.

Have a clear role criteria

Whether you’re recruiting for a Financial Analyst role, Product Manager, or a Compliance Expert, it’s important to have a clear criteria for each fintech role you’re hiring for.

Having a clear list of the requirements, qualifications, and skills that are essential to your role will allow you to attract candidates who will thrive in your role.

For many roles in the finance and technology sector, certificates and qualifications are essential, so make sure to list what is required and the specific level needed.

Our top tip is to clearly define what is ‘essential’ and a ‘must-have attribute for the role’, versus what attributes of a candidate are more ‘preferred’.

This will allow candidates to quickly see if they are eligible to apply to a role.

List what candidates’ day-to-day tasks will involve

So applicants can decide if this is a role they’d feel capable in carrying out, and also a role that they will enjoy doing, it’s important to describe the common tasks of the role.

For example, list any software candidates will be using or specify if they will they be managing teams.

It’s also useful to describe how their role fits into the wider company, and the teams they will be working closely with.

This will all give candidates a well-rounded understanding of what the role will entail. Fintech recruiting requires an ability to find candidates who will really want to work at your company.

Describe all the benefits and perks of the job

To further sell your opportunity to candidates, you should include a ‘benefits of the job’ section towards the top of your fintech job description.

List any benefits, such as starting salary, travel opportunities, benefit packages, training opportunities, and company socials and trips.

While graduates value a competitive starting salary, they also value many other aspects of a role, like progression and training.

So be sure to include all the perks of your opportunity.

The top fintech recruiting firms and the most successful fintech headhunters understand that value of benefits and perks.

So, make sure they’re a central part of your recruitment plan.
