Earlier, a bank suddenly laid off employees，Many people are worried that the atmosphere in Hong Kong's financial industry has begun to deteriorate.；Financial tsunami to date，many countries、Regional economy experiences negative growth，However, Hong Kong has recorded growth for many consecutive years，Reflecting the steady growth of Hong Kong's financial industry。
2016January，Financial Services Development Council publishes "Hong Kong Financial Services Industry Human Resources Report"，Raising the issue of serious talent shortage within the industry，There is a need to focus on training local graduates and practitioners，and hiring additional mainland or foreign professionals。bank、The talent shortage in the investment business is imminent. If you want to join the financial services industry，Banking must be the first choice for most people。
As an important lifeline of Hong Kong’s economy，The added value of the banking industry accounts for 61% of GDP (financial services)，It also employs the largest number of manpower。in recent years，The development of the financial industry continues to improve，Bank executives speak bluntly："The economy is good、Unemployment is low，Even the wage earners are not willing to "run the numbers"、Chasing quota，It is especially difficult to recruit people for frontline departments。
"Due to the heavy workload of frontline practitioners,，Lower job stability，Therefore, it can be as short as a few months、Longer than a year，They will move to another company，Seek new development opportunities。To solve the manpower problem，Many banks often hire a large number of employees，To meet your own business development needs。Except for frontline practitioners，The industry is also severely lacking in executive management talent.。
low birth rate、Retire early、Immigration is the reason for the decline in talent supply，In addition, many local talents are attracted by the mainland market，After they went to the mainland to develop,，Discovering local opportunities everywhere，Not willing to return to Hong Kong。Many employers are recruiting、When senior management talents，Just seek the top 5% of the pyramid，resulting in missing out on potential talents。Competition for Mainland employees increases as Hong Kong’s financial industry becomes increasingly closer to the Mainland，It is also increasingly common for the industry to hire mainland professionals。
According to "Developing Human Resources in Hong Kong's Financial Services Industry"，80% of the respondents said，these ten years，The number of mainland employees hired by investment banks has increased by more than 20%，Especially corporate financial advisors、sales and trading，and analytical research。There are many analysts who speak Mandarin，Especially analysts who study the mainland market。
Because Hong Kong people spend a lot of time researching the mainland market，It’s better to hire mainlanders，Not only is Mandarin fluent，And know the mainland culture very well，Know how to serve mainland customers。Because sales and trading need to promote financial products to mainland customers，"One voice, one spirit" helps lobby mainland customers。also，The attitude of mainland students who are willing to endure hardships and work hard also makes many employers favor them.。
The demand for front-line talents in the insurance business has increased. Talking about the insurance industry，Most people will immediately think of frontline sales jobs。As one of the most open insurance markets in the world，There are currently close to 100,000 people engaged in the insurance industry in Hong Kong，Among them, more than 80,000 people have jobs related to sales business.，But according to relevant reports，Shortage of talents in the industry、The problem of lack of support is looming，Brain attrition rates at life insurance companies are more likely to rise significantly。
Insurance industry’s frontline manpower shortage，There are currently about 20,000 job vacancies，The total new premiums collected by Hong Kong’s insurance industry each year are about 300 billion.，Most benefit from individual insurance sales，Includes free travel policy。As more and more mainlanders come to Hong Kong to buy insurance，More and more insurance companies are stepping up their recruitment efforts for mainland students.，Many mainland insurance companies have also opened offices in Hong Kong.，Familiar with various insurance products、As a result, the demand for talent at the front desk of the regulatory system has increased significantly.。
保险业流失率高是导致业界缺乏人才的主因，Many people choose to resign because they cannot adapt to frontline work.，But frontline practitioners have free and flexible working patterns，Good time management is especially important。here，The editor reminds new entrants，Be brave to change、Open yourself up to adapt to new circumstances，To successfully break through。

Strengthen their own professional training. Many graduates have insufficient understanding of the actual conditions of most middle office and logistics department positions.，As a result, there is a shortage of manpower for positions in the middle office and logistics departments.。someone pointed out，"University is not a vocational training center，Mainly teaches theoretical knowledge。Plus students are exposed to retail and corporate banking on a daily basis、online banking、There are many front-office positions such as asset management，As a result, they have insufficient knowledge of other positions。
"Graduates choose jobs mainly based on money，Because investment banking salaries are higher，Graduates will rush into relevant positions。But investment banks generally only hire professionals，The employees it hires usually have worked at the Big Four accounting firms.、Or engage in bank sales work, etc.，Therefore, less consideration is given to recruiting fresh graduates with insufficient experience.。
In order to give myself a deeper understanding of the entire financial industry，Current students are advised to participate in the internship program，Really understand the development of the financial industry during the internship，Paving the way for a career in finance after graduation。at the same time，Everyone should look further ahead，Don't mind taking insurance、Salesperson for financial brokers, etc.，Just work hard，be promoted to management。
