Financial Services Hiring Trends 2021 - Europe

​

2020 was a tumultuous year of historic proportions. Between the advent of Brexit and the Covid-19 pandemic and lockdowns, financial institutions faced a volatile and increasingly negative market coupled with the unfamiliar prospect of the majority of their workforce having to complete their duties remotely. Uncertainty remains omnipresent in 2021, but the outlook is positive.

​

While several industries suffered dramatically in 2020, across Financial Services there were plenty of examples of unrivalled performance. Stay-at-home orders and employee safety concerns led to a sharp rise in remote working, which took some adjusting for both employers and employees. Across Financial Services, this tested pre-existing models, particularly around compliance.

The outlook for 2021 is vastly more positive than last year. Post-Brexit clarity, the vaccine campaign, and established remote working and hiring practices will contribute to better productivity and more stability.
