“You’re hired” are words rarely spoken in the valuation space. As commercial fee appraisers or appraisers in banks, we definitely can use the help. We’re all so busy. The appraiser shortage has officially started.
It’s all about them
Typical ads to hire an appraiser talk about what we want, not what they want. Many ads spell out employer needs – excellent writing skills, proficient in this or that software, college degree, 5-10 years’ experience, etc.
Talk about yourself, your firm or bank as it relates to the new hire. Let’s say your bank has a new opening for a Valuation and Environmental Risk Analyst. What’s in it for them? One huge concept to consider is to allow largely remote work. This is the new normal, a highly coveted freedom perk.
Need a new approach in an employee market
Let’s call our fictitious bank, BB Bank.
Job Posting
BB Bank is a U.S. bank that defines innovation. That doesn’t excite you? Well maybe like many people, you think of banks as big and boring. The only reason for that appearance is due to the sophisticated software running behind the scenes (YouConnect), making sure things run smoothly and efficiently. Leveraging the automation of that software platform is exciting, allowing the department to thrive in productivity.
Are you looking for a challenge and not just another lame job? Good. We are looking for someone like you, who is looking for a challenge; someone who wants to take and run with this valuation department to take it to the next level. Someone who thrives in working in multi-faceted roles. Someone who is friendly and able to work and communicate with sales, implementation, customers, vendors, and other risk management professionals.
We are currently looking for someone based in the U.S. that has experience in supporting our Valuation and Environmental departments.
