Competition among financial services to attract talent has intensified in recent years. Companies have accelerated their recruitment processes to meet current challenges. In 2020, McKinsey’s forecast, anticipating a 6% increase in jobs in the financial services sector by 2030, still stands. However, recent changes in the economic landscape have changed the challenges and recruitment strategies in this industry.
Economic crises, the impact of government policies, regulatory upheavals, waves of mergers and acquisitions: the financial services industry has faced significant changes in recent decades, including the Covid-19 pandemic, which has accelerated the adoption of flexible work practices and changed consumer habits. Unsurprisingly, technology is the main catalyst for the transformation of this industry to face larger challenges.
