While international financial markets may be struggling, jobs on Wall Street have been fairly steady. In June, more than 14,000 jobs in New York's financial services industry were posted online. Although it is a slight decline from May's 4-year record high, this still represents a 1.2% increase over hiring demand during June of 2011. We thought it might be interesting to look at 3 things that Recruiters and hiring managers should know about recruiting on Wall Street.
Think traders are in demand?
Contrary to what you may think about Wall Street, brokers, traders, and financial analysts are not the most commonly advertised jobs. Instead, the most commonly advertised job title in the financial services industry in New York is Tellers. Personal Banker and Sales Service Specialists were second and third. With Commercial Banking accounting for about 42% of all jobs on Wall Street, it's not too surprising that most of the jobs are for banking careers.
Here are the top 5 job titles being advertised on Wall Street:
- Teller
- Personal Banker
- Sales Service Specialist
- Teller I
- Branch Manager
New York may have the highest demand for financial services jobs, but they are still easier than average to fill.
You probably aren't surprised to hear that employers in New York have the highest demand for jobs in the financial services industry. More than 14,000 job ads were posted online in this sector during June 2012. This is almost twice the volume seen by Chicago, which had the second highest demand for this industry. However, Recruiters are actually likely to find jobs on Wall Street easier to fill that on average across the US. When considering the available talent supply, our Hiring Scale™ and candidate supply data shows that New York has a large pool to source from. It's estimated that over 550,000 people work in the financial services sector in the New York metro area. This means that Recruiters will likely have a large number of candidates to source from.
