The year has started as expected with a large number of roles to be filled by multiple players. This is usually the case in January, but 2021 has different circumstances to previous years. After 2020 was dominated by the COVID-19 pandemic, there are a lot of new roles created to adapt to the “new normal” of working from home and remote communication.

In addition, as firms cut costs during the pandemic, jobs were lost. Many markets are regaining stability and the jobs are back. The number of jobs posted should increase over the coming weeks as financial institutions look to hit the ground rolling in 2021 and recover the money and opportunities lost in 2020.
