Subpoenas, Scandals, Secret Swiss Bank Accounts, the SEC and More

As any loyal reader of ComplianceX, you may have noticed a little trend. Well, actually a huge, gigantic trend of never-ending scandals, whether it is insider trading, FX rigging,money laundering activities or HSBC’s recent tax evasion scandal in its Swiss arm, the commotion seems to never end.

It is not only happening in the U.S. though. Martin Wheatley, the Chief Executive of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is ticked-off about  “staggering” number of scandals emanating from the City (London’s WallStreet).

Here in the U.S., Senator Elizabeth Warren is turning up the regulatory heat by demanding that prosecutors “come down hard” on HSBC for its recent tax evasion scandal in the bank’s Swiss subsidiary.

Some financial institutions are getting worried about this trend as well. Goldman Sachs, in an attempt to stay out of the list of billion dollar fined banks and win back public opinion, is embarking upon a program to limit risky, volatile activities by becoming more “boring.”

As compliance becomes more in demand, research analysts on Wall Street may have to start looking for jobs in this area due to the sad reality that they are becoming disposable, now that a new law is requiring analyst’s pay to come out of the pockets of investment managers for specific work and research.

The good news that comes from these never-ending scandals is that it keeps compliance in the forefront of everything. We can’t complain too much because, not only do we benefit from the increasing number of compliance jobs that are becoming in-demand, but our readers benefit as well because it means more job opportunities.

Dirty Little Recruiting Secrets…Be Open, Honest and Direct

When dealing with an HR person or recruiter, you want to be very open, honest and direct about your goals, objectives, compensations and what you are looking to achieve in your next job.

Sometimes it is very awkward and uncomfortable for candidates to articulate and explain exactly what they are looking for in terms of a job.

There’s no reason not to be upfront and honest in terms of what your earning, stock options, what you’re looking for in terms of compensation, in terms of job and the type of company you are looking for.

What happens if you aren’t upfront?

It hurts your whole candidacy. Often times it is uncomfortable to talk about offers that you may be getting or other interviews you have. If you have interviews pending, explain that to the firm and they will understand. Sometimes a recruiter will like that and see that you are in demand. If you don’t tell them, and blow them off coldly, they will not know what to think.

In terms of compensation, if you are not honest about what you are earning, you may be caught in a lie when they see your payroll stubs or W2 and you won’t get the job because you decided to tweek the comp.

It’s easier NOT to bring these things up, but you want to give that full disclosure and be as upfront as possible.

Position it the right way!

If You have Other Interviews:

Let them know: "I’m actively looking, I have several different interviews, however I am very interested in your position and hope this work out."

If You Feel Underpaid:

Let them know: I’m at XYZ compensation, however I feel underpaid because of XYZ.

They may be able to do something somehow someway, or they may say, Sorry, we can’t do it.”

This way, there is an ongoing dialogue back and forth as opposed to creating a relationship that just sours.

It’s hard to do. It’s uncomfortable to do. However, I suggest in your dealings, be very upfront and honest so everyone knows what you are doing.

Things Are Looking Bright for 2015

Compliance Search Group has had a very successful week as we transitioned into December. We were able to place five candidates into various leveled roles that are all in geographically diverse regions across the country. 

The week after Thanksgiving is usually pretty slow, but for us the traction has remained fantastic. This can only mean that great things are coming for us as we move closer to the new year.
