โEnd of Year Reportโ
2016 was a particularly turbulent year for the financial markets. Beginning with a freefall in Chinese Equities which sent the investment world into panic mode, June brought the unexpected vote for Brexit and the year has ended with theย electionย of Donald Trump as President of the United States. Accordingly, reflecting the world in which they operate, the financial markets have been decisively difficult to read, albeit immensely profitable for some.
Unsurprisingly, the financial recruitment markets have mirrored the erratic behaviour seen in the markets they service โ perhaps exacerbated by the impending regulatory change in the banking sector, which, it seems, no one is yet in a position to fully understand.
2016 saw a notable spike in candidates being hired and made redundant in the same year, as well as hiring processes dematerialising shortly before their conclusion โ often many months after they had begun.
โRestructuringโ was the phrase of the year; with many banks in a constant state of change, many employees growing frustrated at the uncertainty they face and their continued inability to perform their functions as they would like.
