Hiring in Financial Services

Why Financial Services roles are hard to fill

In a regulated institution a candidate is asked how they delivered as closely as what they delivered. CPS 230 and CPS 234 make operational resilience and information security a board matter, and the Financial Accountability Regime names the executives accountable for the outcome, so risk and compliance have a stake in who is appointed. Senior people in the larger banks often carry long notice periods and deferred variable pay under CPS 511, which lengthens every search. The strongest candidates have changed core systems without an outage and kept that change defensible to the regulator.

Our practitioners have led this kind of work in financial services, so we assess candidates on what they have run and against the pressures the role will carry.
