Applied For Hiring Coordinator Position At A Bank. Any Tips To Help Me Land The Job?

I currently work as a HR Consultant for a firm that works with city and county govenments. We help them recruit/hire (a little), create job ads, write job descriptions, develop personnel policies, set compensation, etc. I’ve been working there for a year and a half.
The position would be recruiting and hiring hourly employees, maintaining recruitment files, and maintaining HR forms and job descriptions. They want 1-2 years of related experience and proficiency in Office products, with banking experience a plus.
I don’t have experience in the banking industry, but I do offer an MBA, Bachelor’s Degree in HR, and have assisted one client in recruiting and screening applicants for an HR Director position. I have recruited and hired an HR Assistant and two interns for our firm and written/revised many job descriptions.
I believe I have the education and experience, but how can I make myself stand out before and after the interview? What are banks in particular looking for?

    Given your background, you already know HR and particularly full life-cycle hiring process. My suggestion is that you look around job sites for banking related jobs and learn the banking industry language. Things like what professional licenses are out there and required for specific roles, what systems are commonly used in banking industry, what regulatory governing bodies are etc.
    Best wishes.
