As Financial Services Recruiters, we have experienced and seen how the demographics of our country have forced a fundamental shift in diversity attitudes. But, do these changing attitudes reflect what is actually happening in the financial institutions with their hiring practices?
Along with an ever growing population of different racial and ethnic groups, there has been a shift in the wealth distribution to these groups and the demand to meet their needs continues to grow.
So yes, Wall Street firms are finally having to “connect” to the community they serve. This opens up a wealth of opportunity for entry level and seasoned Financial Advisors of ethnic minorities.
At Willis-Consulting, Inc. we are seeing an increased demand from investment banks for minority candidates. We have fine-tuned our searches for diverse candidates and are experienced in identifying the financial career opportunities that fit best with our candidates’ interests and strengths and meet the competencies and attributes that the financial firms are demanding.
Diversity within the industry is a necessity and the outreach programs are finally in progress!
