More jobs for planners in Q2
Employment prospects for the banking and financial services sectors are set to rise in the second quarter of 2011, according to the recruitment consultancy Robert Walters.
Robert Walters has released its Q1 Market Update, which provides predictions for key trends to expect in the employment market in the coming quarter.
According to the update, financial planners, relationship managers, business development managers and operational specialists will be most highly sought-after to support business growth.
Organisations in the insurance, superannuation, stockbroking and wealth management sectors will lead the hiring due to improved business and consumer confidence, while banks and financial planning practices will also look to increase headcount, according to the report.
Robert Walters’ manager of banking and financial services, Sara Harrison, confirmed the fears of other recruitment experts, saying the pool of available candidates would begin to diminish as hiring increased throughout the quarter.
“The candidate market will continue to tighten and competition for top talent will become tougher, so it will become increasingly important for organisations to clearly define their recruitment strategies and streamline hiring processes,” Harrison said.
