Why work here?

Success for any Wealth Management company today is almost wholly dependent on the quality and performance of its people. At Barclays Wealth we truly understand this and its implications for how we hire, develop and retain the ‘A players’ who will enable us to achieve our tactical and strategic goals.

We believe strongly in the ‘Topgrading’ process, a rigorous and well-proven method of hiring the best people. All of our senior staff devote a significant amount of time to recruitment. The process encourages a more structured, in-depth focus on candidates’ work experience and education, increasing the chances of making the right decision for both us and the candidate.

If you are the kind of ‘A player’ that we want for our business, some of the questions that you should be asking in your discussions with us will be:
 

• do you offer a dynamic working environment that is professionally and personally stretching, and that will enable me to deploy my breadth of competence and build upon it?

• do you embrace change, innovation and excellence in everything you set out to do?

• do you have a clearly communicated vision and strategy for the business such that I can see long-term opportunities for my career with you, and I can ensure that the focus of my performance is on contributing to those goals?

• are you meritocratic, and do you truly differentiate in financial and non-financial terms between those teams and individuals who deliver and those who do not?

• do you invest in building leading edge competencies across your talent base, and will I be able to access continued personal development?

• do you hire only the best people in the marketplace?

At Barclays Wealth we like to feel that the answer to all these questions is a firm ‘yes’. Building an employer brand that appeals to high quality people at any stage in their career is what we are all about.

We are building a market leading business, but just as importantly we are building a sustainable international employer brand.
