Fidelity Investments is hiring, accelerating plans to add 2,000 people in several categories across the U.S., due to growing demand for services from existing clients
"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," said Kathy Murphy, president of personal investment at the privately held firm, in a statement. "To ensure we continue to provide this strong support to clients, we are stepping up and hiring advisors and other financial professionals to continue helping them navigate their financial lives."
The vast majority of the new jobs are for financial consultants, licensed representatives and customer service representatives.
In another statement, posted on LinkedIn, Murphy said Fidelity will consider not only candidates with financial services experience but also those with experience in other industries that focus on strong client service and relationship building, such as hospitality.
