New York, NY -- (SBWire) -- 02/23/2022 --After the challenges of 2020, the boom year of 2021 was a welcome relief for financial services jobs. Many recruiters described it as the busiest hiring market in recent times with huge demand for candidates across the financial services sector. Hiring cycles and recruitment windows in banking and financial services seem to be a thing of the past, replaced by the constant ongoing challenge that firms face to find the best people. And the healthy bonus rounds of 2021 look set to repeat the boom for recruitment this year, with a wealth of activity and plenty of growth hiring. In 2021, hiring was up to two times higher than in the tough times of 2020 - the predictions for 2022 are that this year finance recruitment statistics will be much closer to pre-pandemic levels. As long as the markets remain good then it's highly likely that recruitment across financial services jobs will remain high.
