There is widespread industry agreement, concluding that it is getting tougher to find and retain the most talented individuals. Not only are financial services seeking new challenges more often, the pressures of globalisation, stricter stricter Financial Services and accountability requirements and the demand for individuals with strong commercial instincts are constantly raising the bar for high performing candidates.
Direct Appointment is seeing a number of finance and banking professionals being strongly headhunted into other potentially and ‘soon to be’ regulated sectors such as Energy and Utilities.
The Sector
The banking and finance sector is in a state of constant flux, both internationally and locally. The pressure on these companies and organisations to stay ahead are immense. In addition, changes in legislation and demands from regulatory authorities have dramatically toughened the requirements needed to succeed as a specialist or leader within this sector.
