Australian FinTech announced the launch of its new fintech employment marketplace platform, Australian FinTech Jobs. Founder and CEO, Cameron Dart revealed to Finextra that the new website will promote fintech, financial services, banking, legal, and IT employment opportunities in Australia.
Dart stated to the media outlet:
“Australian FinTech have built a new jobs startup for fintechs and startups about startups, fintechs and jobs. When people think of ‘FinTech’ in relation to employment, they might initially think of just ‘finance’ or just ‘technology’ jobs. But it’s much bigger and broader than that. In addition to the obvious finance and tech roles, there’s multiple subsectors of those industries, as well as typical roles for any business like marketing, legal and compliance, accounting, HR, front office and back office opportunities.”
Dart, who was notably named one of the top 25 influencers in Australian fintech, also explained:
“And on top of all that there’s CEO’s, CIO’s, COO’s and numerous experts required in various fields like FX, share trading, blockchain and cryptocurrency, just to name a few. We found there was a gap in the market for a dedicated employment site like this. These FinTech leaders informed me that they were sick of their adverts getting lost on huge employment sites. On the flipside, others mentioned that 200 to 300 people would apply for one role, most of them completely unqualified. I was also told that a plumber applied for one job saying ‘yeah I could be a programmer.’”
Australian FinTech reported that more than 13,000 users visit their site to read about all things FinTech in Australia.
