Fidelity Hiring Spree Continues By Jeff Berman - ThinkAdvisor
Fidelity Investments says it will have added 12,000 new jobs this year, including new positions for advisors, by the end of the third quarter, in September.
At the same time, Fidelity said it was introducing new training and development programs as part of its “commitment to the next generation of investors, including the next generation of financial services talent.”
The hires will put Fidelity “on track to meet or exceed its hiring” in 2021, when the company made 16,600 new hires, it pointed out.
Almost 43% of the more than 12,000 new roles have been filled as of Thursday, Fidelity said. This leaves around 7,000 positions to be added.
The 12,000-plus jobs don’t include new hires planned for the fourth quarter that will enable Fidelity to meet or top the 2021 new hire count, it added.
