Recruitment for the financial sector looking up for 2010
According to a survey from the Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment (CISI) prospects for the financial sector in terms of recruitment for finance jobs are looking much better than the were in 2009.
Around 60% of the survey participants taken from the financial services industry expressed that they are confident that the companies they work for will start to bring in more recruits in 2010.
43% estimate that the levels of staff at their current companies will increase by 5% thanks to the increase in recruitment. A further 9% of those partaking in the survey felt that recruitment levels would increase by 6-10% and 8% are expecting staff levels to rise by over 11% in 2010.
But not everyone is so optimistic, as four out of ten are predicting a decline in recruitment levels or a complete freeze at their company.
These are obviously just the views of a select group of people in the financial sector, but does show hope for the future of recruitment in the sector.
