Good job prospects for Adelaide and Perth planners
Financial planners based in Adelaide, Melbourne and Perth will be among the most sought-after professionals within the financial services sector in the third quarter of 2011, according to recruitment specialist Robert Walters.
Robert Walters’ quarterly market update report found non-bank lending and wealth management sectors will see the highest levels of hiring this quarter due to growth and the re-emergence of consumer interest in personal investment.
Robert Walters manager of banking and financial services in Brisbane, Samantha Campbell, said there will be strong demand for financial planners and relationship managers across most markets.
“In particular, the Brisbane and Melbourne markets will face a shortage of senior financial planners, and shortages of experienced relationship managers will also continue in Adelaide and Perth,” Campbell said.
“These professionals can expect to receive the biggest salary increases and face multiple and counter-offers,” she added.
Business development managers and relationship managers in Adelaide and Perth will also see an increase in demand, according to the report.
The Sydney banking operations market, too, will see increased hiring activity within selected segments, most notably investment markets and domestic banks.
The report found that hiring within the banking and financial services sector would generally increase in this quarter, as the new financial year brings new budgets and headcount approvals.
