Our Financial Services Division:

How many of our direct competitors have we been competing with for the last 28 years? None. We have witnessed firsthand the dramatic evolution of the recruitment lifecycle and developed our approach tailoring it specifically at attracting top talent into the highly competitive FS industry. Over the past 3 decades we have continually evolved and embraced change in the competitive market in order to successfully partner with our client base to deliver high calibre candidates.

How have we stayed competitive, and in many cases over-taken and out lasted our competitors?

> Our Core values of Accountability, Quality, Integrity and Collaboration permeate our approach to recruitment.

> Our Client Engagement

> Our Delivery and Sector Knowledge

Client Engagement:

At the cornerstone of each successful partnership is the combination of bespoke account management and delivery. Whether you have 1 vacancy or 100 you will be assigned an account manager who would typically have +5years industry experience minimum. Acting as a main point of contact ensures delivery can be closely monitored and processes adhered to.

Our aim is to provide the level of delivery you would expect from an established name in the industry with the personal service of a boutique agency. Our commitment to our clients doesn’t just begin and end when a vacancy needs filling: We speak to screen approx 12 candidates for every profile we forward to a client. This allows us an excellent insight into the market that we analyse and provide to our clients to keep them abreast of salary changes, hot skills in demand and market trends.

Testing Market Report Q4 2015

Summary

> We have seen a good amount of senior test roles released in the second half of the year. This includes global test management positions working within investment banking, with reporting lines of 150-200 resources.

> Various organisations have been recruiting permanent hires to work alongside the testers from the consultancies/ third party suppliers. This is with the aim to keep the business/ technical knowledge within the company itself (as opposed to relying on consultancies/ third parties).

> There has been a lot of movement in the Credit Risk space, with a large demand for testers with strong credit risk business knowledge. This includes knowledge around counterparty risk, CVA, LGD, EAD and VAR. Testers with specific technical experience with SAS in particular have had a distinct advantage.

Our Compliance Team services an increasing demand for compliance talent in a constantly changing regulatory environment. We successfully meet client’s talent requirements in a market that is acknowledged as being constrained by a shortage of suitably qualified candidates.

The recent past has seen compliance and financial crime demands within all areas of financial services expand quickly, whilst talented resource has been limited. Regulatory pressures to (i) provide information, (ii) manage transactional conduct of business requirements and (iii) become familiar with prudential risk management governance mean that compliance is projected to continue this growth. This has resulted in our clients actively seeking to secure the best talent.

We deliver this talent across the following areas:

Control Room | Financial Crime | Monitoring & Surveillance |

These clients require diverse combinations of soft skills, personalities, technical knowledge and experience so that the team is aligned to enable the consultants to become specialists in their market.
