What do you see top non – advisor wealth management professionals (practice employees) doing for professional development? Eddy Ricci, Jr., CFP ®, CEPA ®: When most candidates and employers think about “professional development” in the planning and wealth management space, they immediately jump to designations and credentialing. This may be obvious and the most important way to increase knowledge, technical skill and awareness to need areas of planning. Top candidates and growing professionals are paying attention to the people they are surrounding themselves with. Whether internally by joining/creating committees, starting brainstorming groups within the firm, or externally by being involved in industry organizations, professional associations, study groups or hiring a coach even as a non advisor to work on decision making process building and communication skills. Michael P. Connaughton, CFP®, CLU®, ChFC®: In addition to pursuing further education and designations, we see specialized wealth management candidates immersing themselves in industry-based books and podcasts to gain additional perspective and deepen their knowledge base. It often becomes apparent to hiring firms how committed to the profession a candidate is when they share how they subscribe to career development tools and research and are eager to take time outside of business hours to advance their expertise.

What do independent practice owners tell you are the most important non technical characteristics when they are hiring for investment ops or client service roles? Eddy Ricci, Jr., CFP ®, CEPA ®: Many practice owners care most about hiring a candidate that can “figure it out” and will be “proactive.” What they are looking for is an employee who will seek answers through various resources, FIRST and the as a last resort come to a manager or practice owner looking for the answer. This is likely true in any industry but is particularly important in smaller, independent planning practices. If you are a candidate interviewing for wealth management ops roles, be sure to highlight how you are resourceful and figured things out independent in addition to your technical skills, licenses, software and custodian familiarity. Michael P. Connaughton, CFP®, CLU®, ChFC®: Almost always, we hear resourcefulness. Operations and client service professionals are often pulled in various directions over the course of the day. Whether it’s tracking down account paperwork and signatures, money movement, trading, interfacing with third parties, or general client inquiries, practice owners appreciate team members that can navigate these issues independently. Other desired key intangibles are responsiveness and communication effectiveness. A practice owner may not expect you to have an immediate solution to a client inquiry or service need, but they do expect that you will respond quickly and convey that you are working toward a resolution.
