Demand for risk managers reviving

The risk management recruitment market, having been badly hit as a result of the recession, began to recover during the course of the second half of 2009. The remaining banks were no longer imminently going to collapse and a number, having undergone reorganisations and mergers, had skill gaps that needed to be addressed.

By the start of 2010, some sense of normality had returned to the recruitment market. Whilst demand remains depressed and finding a new position remains challenging and highly competitive, there is no doubt that many banks and financial services companies are now recruiting with an intent that has been absent for almost two years.

Redundancies and defensive registrations are still elevated but numbers are now falling steadily. As ever, there are a number of specialist positions that remain difficult to fill and most risk management departments that are recruiting remain highly selective.

We are cautiously optimistic that as 2010 develops the risk management recruitment market will continue to improve.
