By Lindsay Scott POST YOUR BANK’S JOBS FOR FREE FOR A LIMITED TIME F inding and keeping top talent is high on the list of the many chal- lenges Utah 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 man- agement resource for the financial industry and is brought to you by the Utah Bankers Association in partnership with other state banking associations across the country. BankTalentHQ is the premier talent man- agement site for financial industry careers. “The banking industry was lacking a dedi- cated and focused, full-service talent management site, and that’s what Bank- TalentHQ brings,” said Howard Headlee, President and CEO of the Utah Bankers Association. “BankTalentHQ will connect top talent — including candidates who cur- rently are outside the industry — to your institution. It will be the one stop shop for your talent management needs.” The main focus for the website, located at 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 dis- counted posting package to fill multiple vacancies. It will also allow internships to be posted at a discounted rate. Ancil- lary services currently being offered in- clude industry news and articles, resume writing, career learning center, career pathing, and coaching. To make the site even more robust and tailored for your institution, additional services like execu- tive recruitment and outplacement are in development. Lindsay Scott, Director of Education explains, “The goal is to create a national brand with a holistic talent management website for the financial ser- vices 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, the key to driving additional talent into the financial services industry. The intention is to show the full scope of available jobs, from oper- ations and human resources to financial management and marketing. We are in an exciting industry with endless opportuni- ties, and BankTalentHQ will help fuel the passion of potential candidates, drawing them into the industry. In order to drive talented job seekers to the site, we need job posts from as many Utah 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 50% OFF postings for Utah bank and Associate Members to assist in the progression of the site. Please connect with Lindsay Scott, at Lindsay@uba.org or 801- 364-4303 for your Free Posting Promotion Code or if you have questions about Bank- TalentHQ. www.banktalenthq.com n
