You're investing in your career in finance. Here's the platform that makes it pay off.
If you're training for a career in financial services (or thinking about it!), you already know that getting in takes more than just wanting it.
You need the qualifications. You need the skills. And you need to find the firms that are actually willing to hire someone who's just starting out.
That last part just got a lot easier!
careersinfinance.co.uk launched last month - a recruitment platform built specifically to connect motivated, trained candidates with financial services firms across the UK. It's free for candidates (always!), and it's been designed with people like you in mind - people who are putting real effort into building a career in this sector and who deserve a direct route to the firms that want to hire them.
Wherever you are in your journey, there's a place for you on it
You're job-ready. Get your profile on the platform now and start applying to firms directly - no agency middleman, no fees, just a clear line between you and the employer.
Don't wait until you've finished. Some firms are actively looking for people who are still studying - they'll hire you and support you through your remaining exams. Getting your profile on the platform now means you're visible while you're working towards your qualification.
This is worth knowing about from the beginning. The training you do - whether through Art of Finance courses or a Verve Foundation programme - is the thing that gets your profile noticed. Start building, and the platform is there waiting for you when you're ready!
When you're funding your own training, every decision is a real investment. You're giving up time, money, and energy because you believe a career in financial services is worth it.
The frustrating part has always been that the investment in training doesn't automatically translate into a job. You still had to navigate a recruitment market that wasn't built for people entering the profession for the first time.
Careers in Finance changes that, and the firms on the platform are there because they want entry-level talent. They're not looking for ten years of experience. They're looking for motivated people who've done the work - which is exactly what you're doing.
The platform was built in partnership with Striver, an Australian company that has spent thirteen years growing the next generation of financial advisers. Their technology powers a platform that's purpose-built for financial services hiring - not adapted from a generic jobs board.
Two organisations, one shared belief: the talent is there. The sector just needs better infrastructure to connect it to the firms who need it.
Alisdair Barr, CEO of Striver, said at launch:
"Seeing the software we've built in pursuit of that goal now powering the Verve Foundation's work in the UK is exactly the impact we set out to create."
If you're already training or qualified, head to careersinfinance.co.uk and create your free profile today.
If you're still figuring out where to begin, take a look at what The Art of Finance offers - courses designed to give you the skills and qualifications you need to walk into a financial services career with confidence. Then get yourself on the platform.
The door is open. The firms are there. The only thing left is you!
