Permanent recruitment trends
The risk, quant and treasury recruitment market
has been notably quieter over the last 12 months,
although this was perhaps unsurprising after two
years of extraordinary hiring activity in the postpandemic period.
Demand began to tail off in the 昀椀nal quarter of 2022,
and the market continued to slow down throughout
2023 as the economic outlook became cloudier.
“After the uncertainty of Brexit and the pandemic,
the stars aligned and the market was inundated
with both roles and candidates who were eager
to move,” says Josh Lawson, Senior Director of UK
Risk & Treasury at Barclay Simpson.
“However, the market has since become more
challenging because budgets are tighter and many
professionals have already switched roles within
the last 18 months.”
Despite a more subdued hiring landscape,
pockets of elevated demand still exist across risk,
quant and treasury jobs.
