Financial Services Recruitment

Our recruitment services in the financial services industry ensure that our clients receive the highest quality candidates for their needs.

What is the Financial Services industry?

The Financial Services industry encompasses all financial based institutions ranging from banks, insurance, tax, credit and financial consultancies, making up over 10% of the UK employment market. The state of the economy usually dictates the fluctuations in the volume of roles as well as any particular growth areas like Fintech as it adopts new software, automation and AI opportunities that exist. The digitisation of the sector has provided a huge opportunity for disrupter brands who have taken on and challenged the traditions that exist. These brands have led to an uptick in marketing and software recruitment in the sector along with data and analytics.

How does the Financial Services industry work with recruitment agencies like ours?

The Financial Services industry works with recruitment agencies who really understand the specific type of employee a financial company will hire. Regulations and restrictions with how they can operate, particularly in financial services marketing jobs, require the need for selective and screened candidate sourcing. Project based work in the sector around software calls upon contract recruitment agencies who supply the financial services sectors, were hiring is flexible and attracts very experienced and qualified candidates for immediate starts. From a senior perspective, professional search and selection, commonly known as executive search recruitment within the financial services sector will ensure a high level of service from recruiters and prioritised shortlisting.

Why does the Financial Services industry work with The Candidate?

As The Candidate has worked as a financial services recruiter since its launch in 2012, we are trusted by both traditional and new entrants to the market. With Manchester growing alongside Edinburgh as a challenger for London in the FS sector, we’ve developed with this local growth into a national FS recruiter and this has allowed us to build our extensive candidate database of active and passive candidates. Our awareness of candidates who will be suitable for different types of roles has grown whilst we have learned to identify the type of candidate that will remain in a role by looking at their skillset and experience. We are experts in advising clients on their recruitment briefs, helping devise the job description and the remuneration packages to attract the best talent.
