Kaizen Recruitment

Compliance staff have been in high demand for a few years now, but the rise of industry super funds and the private capital sector has created even more demand for talent, both at the top and bottom end of the experience spectrum.

Not all fundies are bringing home a smaller bonus this year, according to Kaizen, with BDMs in the alternatives space doing better than those in the more traditional equities and fixed income asset classes. The big trend, however, is that the most in-demand BDMs are now the ones that can sell to investment consultants as well as advisers.

It’s not just money being thrown at financial advisers, with title changes, more responsibility and “other added benefits” also on offer according to financial services recruitment teams.
