F inding and keeping top talent is high on the list of the many challenges Kansas banks face. We hear over and over from our members about how difficult it is to attract quality employees and that the pool of available candidates has shrunk exponentially over the last decade due to a number of factors, including changing demographics, negative press and increasing regulations. The solution is BankTalentHQ. BankTalentHQ is designed as a talent management resource for the financial industry and is brought to you by the Kansas Bankers Association in partnership with other state banking associations across the country. BankTalentHQ is the premier talent management site for financial industry careers. “The banking industry was lacking a dedicated and focused, full-service talent management site, and that’s what BankTalentHQ brings,” said Doug Wareham, President and CEO of the Kansas Bankers Association. “BankTalentHQ will connect top talent — including candidates who currently are outside the industry — to your institution. It will be the one stop shop for your talent management needs.” The main focus for the website, located at banktalenthq. com, will be the job board, which will allow you to post job openings for your institutions, with the ability to purchase a single 30-day post or a discounted posting package to fill multiple vacancies. It will also allow internships to be posted at a discounted rate. Ancillary services currently being offered include industry news and articles brought to you by industry experts. Discussion on hot topics in the banking industry happens each week through the BankTalentHQ Podcast and our Ask the Coach blog. You can follow along with these updates or find them on your favorite social media platform. The BankTalentHQ Coaches provide coaching in leadership, career management, sales and business development. Industry peers just like you have trusted them and followed their lead to see growing success in their banks! Services are also provided to the important job seekers!

Find two-year programs or four-year programs in the state of your choice. Higher education has seen the importance of the banking industry, and BankTalentHQ agrees! To make the site even more robust and tailored for you institution, additional services like executive recruitment and outplacement are in development. Becky Milne, VP, educational resources, explains, “The goal is to create a national brand with a holistic talent management website for the financial services industry. It will continue to evolve as needs and trends arise.” BankTalentHQ will be marketing to ideal candidates outside of the industry to pique their interest in banking careers, which is the key to driving additional talent into the financial services industry. The intention is to show the full scope of available jobs, from operations and human resources to financial management and marketing. The Career Outlook page on the BankTalentHQ website will allow an individual to search for a specific city and state of their choice, along with a banking career that sparks their interest, and BankTalentHQ will provide a list of helpful information.
