Confidence continues to rise in financial sector

Confidence is continuing to rise in the financial services sector as more jobs are created throughout the industry, according to the latest report.

A poll conducted by services provider Giant Group shows that optimism in the sector, particularly among those in IT jobs, has risen considerably in the last few months.

When asked which sector of the economy would create most IT jobs over the next 12 months, the biggest proportion of staff said the financial services sector.

This is in comparison to a similar study carried out at the same time last year, when only 14.8 per cent of workers believed that the financial services sector was the best place for growth.

A recent survey among financial services firms carried out by Reed showed that demand for new staff remained steady among most companies in August and even increased in some organisations, despite the summer usually being a quiet time for recruitment in the sector.

As a recruitment provider to many of the UK's major banks, mortgage lenders and building societies Aaron Wallis have a deserved reputation within Financial Services recruitment. Their dedicated FS consultants recruit sales professionals across Retail Banking and Financial Services including IFA's and Mortgage Broking.
