Fair-chance jobs in financial services
If you have a record and you're looking at financial services jobs, this is what the data says about hiring timelines — and how Jobeezy's fair-chance filter keeps you out of dead ends.
Federal bar to know about
FDIC Section 19 prohibits certain banks and credit unions from hiring anyone convicted of a crime involving dishonesty, breach of trust, or money laundering without an FDIC waiver. This is a federal statute, not a company policy — ban-the-box laws do not override it. If you have a conviction in those categories, consumer credit unions, community banks, and non-bank fintech are usually more open. We flag this in-app before you apply.
What the data says
44% ghost-job rate per BLS JOLTS June 2025 (Financial Activities: 366K openings vs 205K hires = 161K gap); genuine roles fill ~42 days (SHRM)
Note: BLS JOLTS June 2025 national data; Financial Activities sector; SHRM 42-day fill benchmark
