The number of newly available financial services jobs rose by 19% from March to April 2012, reaching 3,339. Although this is a 48% drop on April 2011, this is the highest number since the 3,859 recorded in October of last year.

The average time taken to place professionals fell from 67 days to 47 days, while the average salary for those who secured new roles in April was £51,347 – a rise of 2% on the previous month.Chief operations officer Andrew Evans says: “To see the highest number of new jobs available since October 2011 is of course a positive sign. However, in current fluctuating market conditions positive indicators like this don’t necessarily mean an end to a volatile hiring market.

“Employers continue to hire where there is a strong need for talent: risk, compliance, regulatory and change management roles are all areas of the market where we continue to see consistent levels of recruitment activity.”
