Oliver James is delighted to be partnering with Vacancysoft yet again to provide insight into recruitment activity in financial services. September’s report focuses on vacancies in England and Wales for regulatory and compliance roles. We have analysed data about 3,820 newly announced openings with a total of 172 institutions, and broken that data down in a variety of ways. Although the first five months of the 24-month period under review saw a decline in the number of vacancies, the situation has been much more positive since then, which we explore in greater depth in this illuminating study.
