Abstract: Regardless of company size or type, soft skills remain a vital component for employers: Insurance companies place soft skills as the most cited overall criteria in their hiring decisions. Banking companies give slightly more mention to soft skills than curriculum in hiring decisions. Securities companies deem curriculum and soft skills as important hiring criteria, with curriculum given a slight edge. Financial services companies highly value industry specific work experiences when hiring new college graduates; however, it is not expected or required. Offering financial services curriculum is welcomed as highly valuable by financial services companies.
