A JOB fair to recruit financial professionals will be held during the 15th Shenzhen International Financial Expo (Shenzhen Finexpo) which runs from Friday to Sunday at Hall 1 of Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Center in Futian District.

Over 30 leading financial organizations, fintech enterprises and research institutions such as Industrial Bank Co. Ltd., China Life, Ping An Securities, Guosen Securities and the Greater Bay Area Institute for Financial Research will offer positions to more than 400 professionals during the expo.

It is the first time for the organizers, the Shenzhen Municipal Committee of China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT Shenzhen) and Shenzhen Municipal Local Financial Regulatory Bureau, to set up a talent recruitment area at the expo.

This move is to show the industry’s demand for talents and provide a platform for companies and institutions to recruit targeted talents.

In addition to traditional managerial, marketing and financial positions, some institutions and enterprises seek engineers in testing and software development, quantitative data analysts, managers in blockchain and researchers in AI.

At the fair, Shenzhen CQ Funds plans to recruit 30 people for five positions including one for a quantitative strategy researcher that will be offered an annual salary of 1 million yuan (US$156,980).

With the popularization of AI, blockchain, cloud computing and big data technologies that are reshaping the financial industry, the demand for fintech talents is increasing as the city has started piloting digital finance, application of financial supervision modes and adopting technologies in niche markets.

CITIC Futures Co. Ltd. expects to recruit 67 talents for 37 positions. With the fast development of futures and derivative products, there is a demand for professionals with good command of technologies in different categories such as asset management, futures, options, derivatives and bulk commodities.

China Southern Asset Management offers key posts for the company’s development and has a demand for IT talents.

The expo, said to be one of the largest expositions in China’s financial industry, showcases Shenzhen’s achievements in reform and innovation-driven development. Covering 30,000 square meters, it is expected to attract more than 200 institutions to participate in exhibitions, online activities, offline road shows and thematic forums.
