The recruitment of fresh students in banks is known as “golden ten silver four”, that is, banks usually carry out large-scale centralized recruitment activities in October of the graduation school year and April of the next year. But at present, just in March, a number of state-owned banks, joint-stock banks, urban commercial banks and their branches have opened the prelude to the “people grabbing war”.
With the continuous deepening of the digital transformation of banks, scientific and technological talents are still the “pastry” in the job market, and the candidates with the “science and technology + finance” composite professional background are the “popular fried chicken” competed by many banks.
spring recruit “war” intensified
Recently, a number of large state-owned banks, joint-stock banks and urban commercial banks, such as Agricultural Bank Of China Limited(601288) , Bank Of Communications Co.Ltd(601328) , China Minsheng Banking Corp.Ltd(600016) , Bank Of Beijing Co.Ltd(601169) , China Zheshang Bank Co.Ltd(601916) and so on, began their spring moves one after another.
Agricultural Bank Of China Limited(601288) head office Data Center released the campus recruitment information in spring 2022 on February 28, and publicly recruited information technology engineer post and comprehensive management post. This is the third talent recruitment of Agricultural Bank Of China Limited(601288) since February this year. As early as February 7, Agricultural Bank Of China Limited(601288) R & D Center issued a spring school recruitment announcement. The recruitment positions include seven positions: software R & D post, test development post, product R & D post and financial management post.
the momentum of Bank Of Communications Co.Ltd(601328) spring moves is also rapid. In terms of campus recruitment at the head office level, there are nine vacant positions including business analysts and software development engineers. Among them, except that the number of software development engineers stationed in xiong’an is clearly limited to 30, there is no upper limit for the number of recruitment for other posts.
Joint stock firms and urban commercial firms did not show weakness, and participated in the war of “robbing people” in spring recruitment.
China Minsheng Banking Corp.Ltd(600016) can be described as a major player in this year’s spring recruitment, with 422 positions in its head office, local branches, credit card centers and other institutions participating in the spring recruitment. Recruitment categories are also quite rich, including customer group business direction, operation support direction, financial technology product direction, wealth management direction, etc.
In addition, the spring recruitment work of Bank Of Beijing Co.Ltd(601169) , China Zheshang Bank Co.Ltd(601916) , Shanghai Pudong Development Bank Co.Ltd(600000) and other banks is also in full swing.
scientific and technological talents continue to rise
“Spring recruitment is more targeted than autumn recruitment. Spring recruitment is generally used as a supplement to the autumn recruitment of the previous year, so the recruitment objectives are more clear. The positions recruited are often the most scarce fields in the industry at present and will be vigorously promoted and developed in the future.” China Construction Bank Corporation(601939) human resources Commissioner Li Hua (a pseudonym) disclosed to the China Securities Journal China Securities Taurus reporter.
At present, accelerating the process of financial technology and promoting digital transformation are the focus of the development of banks. Therefore, the “competition” for relevant talents is becoming more and more intense. The reporter found that financial technology related posts accounted for half of the total recruitment of many banks, and even had an overwhelming advantage.
For example, the postal savings head office recently launched a separate recruitment for the information technology department, which is also the only spring recruitment activity carried out by Postal Savings Bank Of China Co.Ltd(601658) up to now, and the social recruitment and campus recruitment in this recruitment are mainly financial technology talents. Among them, social recruitment posts include seven categories: architecture, demand and testing, and software R & D. campus recruitment posts in spring include two categories: information technology and financial economy.
China Minsheng Banking Corp.Ltd(600016) has also launched a special “Minxin financial technology talent plan”. It is reported that the project is a financial technology professional training project tailored by China Minsheng Banking Corp.Ltd(600016) for global outstanding fresh graduates, with China Minsheng Banking Corp.Ltd(600016) financial technology sector as the exclusive talent incubation and development base for fresh graduates, It is planned to train a group of professional compound talents who can apply technological innovation to relevant financial scenes.
In addition, the bank’s financial technology subsidiary is also a major force in this year’s spring recruitment. ABC Financial Technology Co., Ltd. has 30 recruitment information security posts and software development posts, and bocom Financial Technology Co., Ltd. also has more than 20 posts.
compound talents are scarce
“Compound professional background is also very popular. Science and engineering talents who understand both technology and finance are our priority.” Li Hua said.
Compound talents are more employed in bank management and training positions, senior marketing sequences, technical sequences, etc. For example, Bank Of Shanghai Co.Ltd(601229) head office, in this spring recruitment, clearly requires that the positions of financial technology trainees “need the majors of information technology, mathematical statistics, economy and finance, financial accounting, management and other science and engineering, and those with the background of information technology, economy and finance are preferred”.
Bank Of Nanjing Co.Ltd(601009) is no exception. In the job descriptions of information technology post and Digital Banking post in the spring recruitment of its head office, it is said that “we will focus on cultivating compound professionals who are proficient in IT technology and familiar with bank operation and management”.
Bank financial management companies also show their preference for compound talents in recruitment. For example, ABC financial management clearly pointed out in the basic application conditions of spring recruitment that “those with composite professional backgrounds such as economy, finance and information technology are preferred”.
“Talents with complex backgrounds in information technology and finance are very scarce.” Li Hua told reporters, “On the one hand, information technology and finance belong to disciplines with high professional threshold, and the span between the two disciplines is relatively large, so there are few talents who can double study the two disciplines; on the other hand, such talents have a wide range of employment options. We not only have to compete for students with securities companies, insurance companies, fund companies and other financial institutions, but also need to work with many other financial institutions Big Internet companies scramble. “
In addition, the 2021 chief insight report of China’s financial technology enterprises also shows that 86% of the respondents believe that “it is difficult to find talents with financial + technology background” is the biggest challenge facing talents at present.
