Recruitment picking up for City Firms

According to reports from recruiters, city firms have started to hire again after the trouble of recent times, although slightly cautiously.

There was an uplift in the finance job market in June that held fairly steady in July despite the slow summer trend in recruitment that usually happens every year.

Although the number of new jobs within the London financial services sector dropped overall by 7%, a two month consequent increase since June in new finance jobs in the market is positive news for finance professionals.

It is good news for the financial recruitment industry if employers are feeling more confident and starting to increase the amount of job opportunities available in the UK. As with most things during the recession it will be a slow steady increase rather than a sudden jump to how things were before.

The statistics are showing that job opportunities are appearing for most areas within the financial services industry and this is especially true at the managerial and executive level.
