Fidelity hiring hundreds at Covington campus - Apr 13, 2020
Fidelity Investments plans to accelerate the hiring of about 2,000 people, including hundreds at its Covington campus.
Fidelity, one of the largest asset managers in the world with $8 trillion under administration, plans to hire about 300 employees locally between April and June, the company confirmed to the Business Courier. That's in addition to the thousands of jobs it fills each year.
In Covington, Fidelity is looking to hire financial service associates, customer relationship advocates and licensed financial professionals. Some of the jobs, specifically the financial services associate position, will require nine weeks of paid training before they convert to full-time after six months in the position.
The increase in hiring for the Boston-based financial services firm comes as the novel coronavirus has wreaked havoc on the American economy. The company said the increased hiring is part of Fidelity’s commitment to be there for clients during this challenging period.
“We have seen unprecedented engagement from our individual clients as well as 401(k), 403(b), defined benefit and stock plan participants, all of whom are turning to Fidelity to help them navigate this challenging environment,” Kathy Murphy, president of personal investing for Fidelity, said in a news release. “In addition, Fidelity, with its strong brand and differentiated client value, has seen significant business growth from investors opening new accounts.”
Fidelity is offering expedited hiring, onboarding and training processes, as well as substantial work-from-home arrangements to ensure the safety of employees. The company also recently released enhanced support and benefits focused on time, flexibility and new care services for employees, including time needed to manage unexpected home-life events and COVID-19 screening and testing services for employees and their families.
Fidelity did not publish starting salaries for the jobs, but said the current roles have competitive starting salaries that include a “robust” benefits package.
Fidelity is one of the region’s largest employers with a little more than 4,000 local employees.
