Hiring for financial sales jobs rises by 60%

The number of people hired in financial sales jobs in London has risen by 60 per cent, according to new research.

Morgan McKinley's London Employment Monitor for January 2010 showed that the number of people experiencing sales recruitment success last month has shown considerable improvement over January last year.

It also found that following the typical decline in job vacancies in December due to the Christmas period, January 2010 shows a 105 per cent month-on-month increase in roles as hiring resumed the gradual pattern of growth which built up last year.

Andrew Evans, managing director of Morgan McKinley's financial services division, said that there were more financial sales jobs available last month than at any point in 2009.

"A more accurate gauge of job growth is the seven per cent increase in job vacancies from November 2009 to January 2010 which indicates that January recruitment levels are in tune with the recent upward trend," he added.

Earlier this week, it was revealed that more than half of Scotland's financial services firms intend to recruit more bodies this year.

As a recruitment provider to many of the UK’s major banks, mortgage lenders and building societies Aaron Wallis have a deserved reputation within Financial Services recruitment. Their dedicated FS consultants recruit sales professionals across Retail Banking and Financial Services including IFA’s and Mortgage Broking.
