LONDON, ENGLAND, July 20, 2012 (Press-News.org) Slowing job opportunities in the UK continued in the second quarter, ending 31 June 2012. Financial sector job availability slowed in the UK by 19% year-on-year with average monthly job postings decreasing from 3,522 in Q2 2011 to 2,836 in Q2 2012.
The UK also saw a 3% quarter-on-quarter decrease from Q1 2012 to Q2 2012. Across the world's top financial markets, only the US enjoyed a significant increase of 13% over the period, while APAC and Continental Europe and the Middle East recorded modest growth of 2% and 1% respectively.
In June, the number of job postings on eFinancialCareers.co.uk in insurance (+6%), consultancy (+5%) and private equity & venture capital (+2%) were the only three sectors recording growth year on year. Equities and FX & money markets were the worst performing sectors, with a drop in job postings of 49% over the period, narrowly followed by derivatives (-48%).
"The increase in hiring that usually takes place in the post-bonus period hasn't materialized this year. Instead, the continued uncertainty in the marketplace has driven financial services to adopt a very cautious approach to hiring," comments James Bennett, Global Managing Director at eFinancialCareers.
Unsurprisingly, the current environment has impacted the confidence of finance professionals. A poll* carried on efinancialCareers site reveals that seven out of 10 respondents described the current hiring climate "cold" or "freezing". When asked whether they will be able to find a new job that is equal to or better than your current or most recent position in the second half of 2012, the respondents were split 50-50.
The eFinancialCareers Quarterly Barometer tracks UK positions advertised on eFinancialCareers in sectors where there is a minimum level of 300 advertised jobs a month for the quarter. Sectors qualifying for the UK Barometer for the three months ended 30 June 2012 were Private Equity / Venture Capital, Investment Banking / M & A, Sales & Marketing, Corporate Banking, Credit, Consultancy, Research, Insurance, Trading, Debt / Fixed Income, Hedge Funds, Accounting & Finance, Commodities, Derivatives, Information Technology, Equities, FX & Money Markets, Asset Management, Capital Markets, Quantitative Analytics, Compliance / Legal, Risk Management, Private Banking / Wealth Management, Operations.
Ends
* results as of Friday, 7th July 2012.
