早前个别银行突然裁员,曾令市场担心香港financial industry气氛转弱。However,自金融海啸以来,不少国家及地区经济出现负增长,香港却连续多年录得增幅,反映本地金融业仍具备稳步上行的基础。
2016January,Financial Services Development Council publishes "Hong Kong Financial Services Industry Human Resources Report",明确提出行业人才短缺问题日益严重,Hong Kong needs to train local graduates and practitioners more systematically,At the same time, recruit more professionals from the mainland or overseas,To support the sustainable development of the financial services industry。
Talent shortage in banking industry:Frontline and management are equally nervous
If you are interested in joining the financial services industry,Banking is often the first choice for most people。The banking industry is an important lifeline of Hong Kong’s economy,其增加价值占本地生产总值(金融服务业)达61%,同时也是金融业中聘用人手最多的板块。
近年金融业发展持续向好,银行高层亦直言:“经济好、Unemployment is low,打工仔都不愿意‘跑数、追quota’,It is especially difficult to recruit people for frontline departments。”由于前线从业员工作负担较大、稳定性相对较低,不少员工短则数月、In the long term, it may take more than a year to transfer to another company.,Seek new development opportunities。To meet business expansion needs,Many banks can only continue to hire a large number of employees。
Except for frontline positions,There is also an obvious talent gap at the administrative level。low birth rate、Early retirement and immigration,All result in a decrease in the supply of local talent;at the same time,Many Hong Kong talents are attracted by the mainland market,After going to the Mainland for development, he was unwilling to return because of the numerous local opportunities.。部分雇主在招聘中、When senior management talents,只聚焦“金字塔顶尖的5%”,反而容易错失具潜力的候选人。
内地专才竞争加剧:投行招聘结构正在转变
随着香港金融业与内地市场关系日益紧密,业界聘请内地专才的情况愈加普遍。《发展香港金融服务业人力资源》显示,八成受访者表示,过去十年间,投资银行聘请内地雇员的增幅超过两成,尤其集中于企业财务顾问、sales and trading,以及分析研究等岗位。
在分析研究领域,许多研究员以普通话为主要工作语言,尤其是研究内地市场的分析员。对香港从业员而言,深入研究内地市场需要投入大量时间;而内地专才不仅普通话流利,也更熟悉内地文化和客户沟通方式,能够更有效服务内地客户。
在销售和交易岗位,金融产品需要向内地客户推广,“同声同气”有助提升沟通效率及客户信任度。also,内地毕业生普遍具备肯吃苦、执行力强的特点,也使不少雇主在招聘时更倾向吸纳内地人才。
保险业前线需求上升:销售人才缺口持续扩大
谈到保险业,市场通常会首先想到前线销售岗位。香港作为全球最开放的保险市场之一,目前有接近十万人从事保险行业,其中八万多人从事与销售业务相关的工作。However,行业人才短缺及青黄不接的问题已经十分迫切,寿险公司的人才流失率亦可能大幅上升。
保险业前线人手短缺明显,目前约有二万个职位空缺。香港每年保险业整体新收保费约三千亿,大部分受益于个人保险销售,Includes free travel policy。随着越来越多内地客户来港购买保险,更多保险公司加快招聘内地毕业生;at the same time,Many mainland insurance companies have also opened offices in Hong Kong.,进一步推高了熟悉保险产品及监管制度的前台从业员需求。
高流失率是保险业人才不足的重要原因。部分从业员未能适应前线工作节奏而选择离职,但保险前线岗位具有自由、灵活的工作模式,时间管理能力尤其关键。初入行业的人士必须愿意改变、主动开放自己并适应新环境,才有机会在竞争中突围。
证券业务转型:沪港通与深港通带动人才要求提升
证券业务正面临行业结构调整,证券业对人才的要求越来越高。证券经理不但需要按照客户指令买卖证券,还要为客户及企业提供投资咨询、理财服务等更综合的专业支持。
Facing the transformation of securities business,以及金融产品日益多元化,从业员和毕业生需要持续进修,认识不同类别的财富管理产品,并通过专业知识提升自身竞争力。
Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect was officially opened to traffic at the end of last year,深港通亦于这月初开通,未来市场活跃度预计将进一步提高。on the other hand,深圳前海亦将影响整个香港区域的经济活动。为打造另一个中环,前海十分欢迎香港公司在当地开业,并且发展迅速,Many companies visit every day。虽然前海仍未公布太多具体细节,但预计未来将需要大量证券人才。
金融从业者发展建议:强化专业修养与实习经验
不少毕业生对中台和后勤部门职位的实际情况认识不足,导致相关岗位同样出现人手短缺。有业内人士指出,大学并不是职业训练所,主要教授理论知识;加上学生平日较常接触零售及企业银行、online banking、asset Management等前台职位,因而对其他岗位缺乏全面认识。
毕业生选择职位时往往以薪酬为主要考量。由于投资银行薪金较高,许多毕业生会集中投身相关岗位。但投资银行通常更倾向聘请已有专业经验的人士,例如曾在四大会计师行工作、或从事银行销售工作的人才,因此较少优先考虑经验不足的应届毕业生。
要真正理解金融业的整体运作,在校生应积极参加实习计划,通过实际工作认识行业发展,Paving the way for a career in finance after graduation。at the same time,职业视野应放得更远,不必排斥保险、金融经纪等销售岗位;只要持续积累客户经验、产品知识及管理能力,同样有机会晋升至管理层。
