Compliance recruitment market increasingly difficult for candidates 

The decline in the compliance recruitment market in the second half of 2008 accelerated in the first quarter of 2009. The number of redundancies increased, with investment banks and mortgage lenders, intermediaries and packagers particularly badly hit. The number of vacancies fell to new lows.

 

During the second quarter, the rate of redundancies declined and there is some evidence, against historically low levels of demand, the number of vacancies is starting to increase. However, after a year of depressed demand and consistent redundancies, the market is candidate rich. Competition for new positions is at an all time high. The market is currently stabilising around low levels of demand.

 

Factors driving existing demand include TCF and complaint handling, as companies realign their in-house policies, and the incorporation of the Conduct of Business (COB) legislation into the FSA’s remit. It is also clear that there will be changes to the regulation of hedge funds. In the insurance sector, Solvency II is becoming a major focus for compliance and risk strategies.
