Marked down turn in risk recruitment market
During the first six months of 2008, demand in risk management has come under more pressure than other areas of corporate governance. This is as a result of the large number of risk managers employed in investment banking and the extent of the losses and rationalisation in the sector.
The problems in investment banking have been heavily responsible for an overall reduction in vacancies, drop in salary increases and increases in both candidate registrations and defensive registrations.
However, other areas of risk have fared better, particularly the insurance sector, which is being driven by the need to comply with the Solvency II directive. There also remains steady demand for operational and credit risk managers from retail, private banking and asset management.
Also on the positive side, the emergence of convergence risk management, to combat the failure of the current silo-based model, could be the next major driver in the demand for risk professionals. There are indications that this is already an area that the Big 4 are recruiting for.
