The 24.7.365 Development Program™ was introduced in 2018 in response to the overall decline of potential candidates choosing financial services as a viable career option in Canada. The purpose of this program is to assist small, medium and large financial firms grow their sales forces. A larger sales force means additional qualified points of distribution, which translates into higher revenue streams, and in turn, a more profitable business model.
This program was introduced in 2018 in response to the overall decline of people selecting financial services as a viable career option in Canada. The purpose of the program is to assist small, medium and large financial firms grow their sales forces, or at the very least, help to replace the Representatives that are no longer with the participating firms.
Careers Canada identifies individuals who are interested in exploring a career shift to the financial services industry. We do this through a network of recruiters, social media, advertising, and referrals.
All potential candidates are vetted to ensure that they can legally work in Canada in the financial services industry.
The candidate selects the various area(s) of financial services that interest them most. The more popular 'areas of interest' include: Life Insurance, RESPs, and Investments.
Careers Canada interviews the candidate to assess their suitability to effectively work in their chosen fields of interest. All interviews are recorded (video) and forwarded for review to the Hiring Managers of participating firms.
The candidate is presented with one, two or three local opportunities that best match their areas of interest. We strongly encourage the candidate to interview with the firms whose opportunities best reflect their interests and career aspirations.
After the candidate reviews the available opportunities that are offered through Careers Canada, they select those that they are most interested in pursuing.
Through an integrated system, Careers Canada books interviews on behalf of the candidate with the Hiring Managers from the firms that are offering opportunities the candidate wishes to explore.
The candidate interviews with the financial firm(s), choosing the opportunity that they feel offers them their best chance of success and attaining their short-term and long-term career objectives.
In 2019, a total of 906 candidates were successfully placed with participating firms through the 24.7.365 Development Program™.
