Banking & Financial Services
Despite an ever changing and increasingly demanding regulatory environment in Australia, the recruitment market for compliance and risk professionals in finance has been relatively quiet for the last 12 months. Significant hiring took place in the preceding 12-24 months and together with a more challenging economic outlook, many organisations have stopped recruiting for their risk and compliance teams during 2011. Notwithstanding this trend, product compliance experience across retail and investment banking, funds management and insurance is always difficult to find amongst available compliance and risk candidates.
