FINS.com is a new career site that was created by The Wall Street Journal.
The site is a stand alone, online resource that specifically targets financial professionals and the finance market. FINS.com offers information about the major financial sectors with associated jobs, news, in-depth research on companies and daily columns that offer advice and career insight.
FINS.com is meant to be a site for both active job seekers and those in the financial industry who want to keep up on the career-related side of the market. The site is free to users.
In addition to searching for jobs using filtering tools, users are able to research more than 1,500 companies across multiple sectors and access finance-specific career development information, from job search tips to long-term advancement and career transition advice. FINS.com is planning to add more features during the next few months.
Recruiters and employers can use the site to reach a targeted, high-quality audience through display ads, candidate search and job postings. You can purchase 30-day job postings for $375 or buy a savings package. Anyone who posts a job also gets free access to the site’s resume database for the term on the job post.
“FINS.com is an innovative new business intended to help super-serve our current customers in multiple dimensions of their lives and attract new customers to the Journal franchise,” Ann Sarnoff, president of Dow Jones Ventures, said. “The site offers a powerful combination of news, advice and jobs for people in the financial industry, backed by the strength of The Wall Street Journal.”
The site’s content comes from an editorial staff that generates targeted, career-related ideas, including features such as the Bull/Bear Report, a blog-style column tracking the financial job market and Morning Coffee, which offers a career-related spin on the latest financial news.
“Large general job boards traditionally have under-served the needs of finance professionals, and FINS.com takes a unique, comprehensive approach to this segment by creating a daily resource that appeals to both active and passive job seekers alike,” FINS.com General Manager Kevin Hatfield said. “The site features top employers and jobs in the financial industry while keeping users in the know about career-related news.”

Looks like Dow Jobes has realized the platform provided by Adicio wont get them very far. Maybe they will be able to build a business now.
