Based on several conversations I’ve had with recruiters over the last few weeks, many employers are focusing more resource to “direct” recruiting rather than using recruiters. Direct recruiting can be done in a number of ways, but the most popular are:
- Search for candidates on the larger job search sites (you must, of course, be registered to benefit)
- Leverage their own company career sites (again, you must be registered)
- Using business social networks such as LinkedIn
Many company career websites provide several options depending on the experience level of the applicant. These range from Campus or University recruiting to Experienced Hires.
Today’s post will focus on several financial services companies’ career sites.
- American Express – The first page to of the career site for Amex gives excellent choices regarding company background, career information and what it is like to work at the company. You can jump right into searching, or go through the sign-up process. I always recommend registering on the site even if an initial search comes up empty.
- Blackstone – Blackstone is a well known asset management company. After giving a very good overview of the company, the left-hand side of the site provides the full range of hire types, from Internships through Experienced Hires. You can easily browse the open positions as well as register for the site.
- JP Morgan Chase – Similar to the other sites, this site gives an overview of the company and then has links for Experienced Hires and University Programs. There is a link for “Jobs in Demand” as well as a “Search Jobs” tab. As with the other sites, it is worthwhile to register.
- HSBC – The HSBC career page starts off with a map of the world, you click where you want to work (or where you live) and then the site takes you to a more focused view for your region and country. The site includes “Tips & Guidelines” for candidate preparation as well as job search, recruiting events, career development and areas of opportunity.
I will post these links to the “Links to Company Career Sites” in the next day or so.
Good luck with your search.
