Steady improvement in the compliance recruitment market
The compliance recruitment market together with other areas of corporate governance began to improve during the second half of 2009. There are now two conflicting pressures relating to the employment prospects for compliance specialists. Without doubt the financial services industry is still in the process of shrinking. Against this, the industry is going to have to be better controlled and more extensively regulated.
The number of vacancies in compliance is now steadily rising albeit from historic lows. Perhaps more importantly, and unlike any time during the previous two years, banks and financial services groups are now serious about filling the vacancies they purport to have. Offers of employment are now regularly being made and accepted. In spite of the improvement in demand, for many vacancies, the competition remains fierce. Few companies are prepared to compromise against their preferred profile.
We anticipate that the number of vacancies will continue to increase as 2010 develops. Also the downward trend in redundancies and defensive registrations that peaked in the second quarter of 2009 is strengthening.
