Risk recruitment market remains under pressure
The Risk Management recruitment market was badly hit with widespread redundancies in the latter half of 2008. This continued into 2009 and although the rate of redundancies has slowed, they remain a feature of the market.
Overall, candidate supply far outstrips demand, which is exerting a downward pressure on salaries. Salary increases are now at the lowest level we have recorded for risk management.
However, despite the volume of candidates, some specialist roles remain difficult to fill. This is due to a decrease in the number of specialist candidates, many of whom are reluctant to enter the recruitment market for reasons of job security.
On a positive note, Basel II is still creating vacancies and there has also been an increase as a result of Solvency II, particularly as Pillar II takes shape. Within credit risk, there is currently positive demand for workout and corporate recovery specialists and, within the Lloyds and London insurance markets, operational risk specialists are in demand.
