Banking
2012 Situation Update
There was a slowdown in the banking sector toward the end of 2011 and into 2012 - with a cautionary stance from many banks and financial institutions about the hiring of full-time employees. For this reason, this sector remains a larger user of flexible workforce solutions. No other industry has come under such close scrutiny of late in relation to how it compensates employees - particularly at the more senior level. This has had an effect on bonus payments and salary increases within many banking and financial organisations. The majority of banks and financial institutions now have global controls in place as to how salary increments and bonuses can be given to employees. Over the past twelve months there has been a significant increase in the number of banking professionals from Europe and North America seeking to relocate to Singapore and other parts of Asia. Adecco has also seen an increase in the demand for corporate finance/M&A professionals-especially at the more senior level. Bankers with security and risk experience continue to be in highdemand, in what, over the past ten years, has become a highly regulated sector. With the high levels of market uncertainty in various Central European countries, it could be some time before jobs and recruitment in the banking and finance sector reach any level of certainty in Singapore. The human resources department in nearly every bank is currently being challenged with reducing cost while retaining talent.
