Looking for a Banking Technology Sales Job?

The culmination of various factors surrounding the global financial markets is expected to significantly drive the demand for banking technology sales roles around the world in the next 6 – 18 months.

A combination of mass jobs losses, government bail-outs and gross financial mismanagement means that tighter regulations will inevitably be imposed on the global financial markets.  The continued volatility of the financial markets allied with the heightened regulatory environment will inevitably drive demand in 2009 and 2010 for the following four key areas; risk management, compliance, reporting and surveillance technologies, and financial data.

The news of an expected growth sector, and the job opportunities it will create, will no doubt be warmly welcomed by candidates and companies alike, however, the questions still remains – “where is the best place to look for banking technology sales roles?”

There are several sources to choose from, but there is one that clearly stands out:


VENDORS TO THE FINANCIAL MARKETS
Vendors do not always post their jobs on their own website, and if they do advertise their own vacancies they tend to be updated less regularly than you may expect.

RECRUITMENT AGENCIES
Recruitment agencies are still a good source of banking technology sales roles, but in a climate where time is money, recruiters can often prove frustrating as they will often want to meet candidates first before deciding whether or not they are suitable for the role.  This means that a lot of time can be spent talking over the phone and attending meetings before a candidate is put forward for a role.  Also, in the current climate most recruitment agencies are ill equipped to process and reply to the high volume of CVs being submitted, often proving a fruitless and frustrating time for candidates.

ONLINE SPECIALIST RECRUITMENT SITES
Ultimately, the fastest and most efficient way of candidates securing the job they’re looking for is via an online niche specialist recruitment site.  According to an article in the Wall Street Journal late last year “new job sites with names like MarketVendorJobs.com have sprung up to take advantage of growing user interest amid the economic downturn.”  Online specialist recruitment sites are more likely to advertise niche vacancies appropriate to, for example, candidates with banking or financial market experience, and provide the necessary information and advice to support candidates in their job hunt.  Also, a candidate can submit their CV to a vacancy instantaneously, thus speeding up the recruitment process while keeping track of applications and responses.

Online niche specialist recruitment sites have arisen out of the need to deliver uniquely qualified candidates quickly and at minimal cost, benefiting both candidates and employers.  It is likely that online specialist recruitment sites will remain the most effective way of ensuring candidates get the exact job they are looking for, until such a time as the global financial markets are in far better condition and there are less time and monetary pressures.
