Hiring commercial lenders is a classic growth strategy for community banks. But on face value, this is a distribution channel strategy. More lenders having more conversations. Banks need product strategy innovation. Without it, those lenders are going have an increasingly hard sell. Hiring product-minded people is a great first step. Hiring technical resources may be the second.

🤔 Why Aren’t Banks Hiring? Unpacking the Shift in the Financial Landscape 📉 In recent years, the banking sector has faced significant headwinds, and the trend of reduced hiring has caught the attention of many. Here’s a closer look at what’s driving this change: 1️⃣ Economic Uncertainty: Fluctuations in interest rates and market instability have pressured banks to focus on cost-cutting measures. 2️⃣ Digital Transformation: With the rise of fintech and AI, many tasks traditionally handled by employees are now automated, reducing the demand for new hires. 3️⃣ Regulatory Challenges: Stricter compliance requirements demand significant investment in technology and processes, often at the expense of expanding staff. 4️⃣ Profitability Pressures: A shift toward lower-margin business models, like digital banking, means fewer resources for large-scale hiring initiatives. 📊 What Does This Mean for Job Seekers and Businesses? For professionals in the finance industry, adaptability is key. Acquiring skills in fintech, data analytics, and compliance can open new doors. For businesses, this signals an opportunity to explore alternative funding sources outside traditional banks. 💬 Are you exploring new financial solutions or curious about emerging trends in banking?

I met with the founder of a FinTech scale-up this morning discuss hiring. Here's what he told me: - He works with a small group of recruiters and has great relationships - He values good recruiters and is excited when he's referred a new one - He insists on spending time with recruiters to ensure proper alignment - His team does what they can to make recruiters lives as easy as possible - They like to keep their recruiters informed so they have all the right information - They are quick to provide feedback and move through a process We then had a reasonable chat about costs, discussed what hiring AMP People can and can't help with, and agreed on next steps. After the call, I had to double-check that it wasn't April 1st. Why can't it always be this straightforward?
