F inding and keeping top talent is high on the list of the many chal- lenges Colorado banks face. We hear over and over from our members about how difficult it is to attract quality employees and that the pool of available candidates has shrunk exponentially over the last decade due to a number of factors, including changing demographics, nega- tive press and increasing regulations. The solution is BankTalentHQ. BankTalentHQ is designed as a talent management resource for the financial industry and is brought to you by the Col- oradoBankersAssociation 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 Bank- TalentHQ brings. 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. Themain focus for thewebsite, located at banktalenthq.com ,will be the jobboard, which will allow you to post job openings for your institutions, with the ability to purchase a single 30-day post or a dis- counted posting package to fill multiple vacancies. It will also allow internships to be posted at a discounted rate. Ancillary services currently being offered include industry news and articles, resume writ- ing, career learning center, and coaching. Tomake the site evenmore robust and tailored for you institution, additional services like career paths, job summaries, executive recruitment and outplacement are in development. The goal is to create a national brand with a holistic talent management web- site for the financial services industry. It will continue to evolve as needs and trends arise. BankTalentHQ will be marketing to ideal candidates outside of the industry to pique their interest in banking careers, thekey todrivingadditional 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 market- ing. We are in an exciting industry with countless opportunities, and BankTal- entHQwill help that excitement resonate with potential candidates, drawing them into the industry. In order for the site to grow quickly, we need job posts fromas many Colorado 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 FREE postings for CBA bank and AssociateMembers to assist in the progression of the site.
