From a recruiter’s perspective, market conditions in 2013 have been markedly improved compared to 2012. The volume of new assignments has been consistent during the first half of this year, but conversion into placements has been improved, as more firms secure sign off for hiring. Some firms have prioritised direct hiring whilst volumes are lower, but generally speaking the more technical roles are released to external recruiters. There has been reluctance by many firms to pay retainers, resulting in more mid-senior level hiring being done by contingency recruitment firms. Our market report looks at these topics amongst others, and looks at the market in the areas of front office, infrastructure/support functions, and temp/contract.Front officeInfrastructureTemp and contractsTo speak to someone about your banking and financial services recruitment process, get in touch with David Leithead.T: 020 7645 1420M: 07584 386128E: davidleithead@michaelpage.comBanking and financial servicesLinksAbout usSalary comparison toolJobs in ScotlandBrowse for jobsArchiveLinks2014 Salary forecasts2013 Q1 - Risk market update2013 Q1 - Change management market update2013 Q1 - Finance change programmes update2013 Q1 - Change management permanent updateSpecialists in compliance, Legal and Policy recruitment2013 – Half year updateJuly 2013 - Global market update2013 – Job hunting and social media infographic2013 banking and financial services global employment trends2012 global financial services market trends2011 investment management finance market update
