Technology Sector – SAP IT Report
Finally, in 2019 so far, KPMG have become the dominant recruiters for SAP, with vacancy volumes up 537% since 2018.
Life Sciences – BI/Big Data Report
– Business Analysts remain the most heavily recruited role, however, year on year activity grew only by 8.9%.
– The UK holds the majority of vacancies with 27% of the total.
– Roche remain the biggest recruiter with year on year activity up by 23.3%.
Insurance Sector Report – Actuary
When analysing the volumes as a function of all vacancies being posted, we see the variance as being between 1.5-4.5%, where November 2018 especially registered a peak in activity for the past two years.
Within the insurance sector, Aviva were the largest recruiters, with volumes up 16%.
Property Law Sector – Report
Within the banks, we see activity in 2017 holding steady through the year and only dipping in Q4, where it then picked up again in 2018, but has been in decline as the year progressed, with Q4 2018 at a 2 year low. In terms of the legal vacancies within the banks we see a similar pattern, where recruitment activity ended up being in decline in 2018 also, mirroring the trend seen in the wider corporate governance roles.
Audit In Banking – Report
When analysing the recruitment for other professional non specialist insurance roles, this is more extreme, in that we see that nearly two thirds of such generalist vacancies within Insurance now sit outside the capital.
Regional Trends Report – Midlands
– In Birmingham, within Financial Services, post HSBC’s move, activity has slowed down as one off hiring there has subsided, with volumes down by 35% compared to 2018.
– In Nottingham, by professional area, the biggest story is the increase in vacancies for Procurement / Supply Chain, where volumes grew up by 35%. Specifically the largest point of growth has been for people handling inventory, and stock levels.
