THE NEW CENTRE FOR FINANCE TECHNOLOGY SKILLS
Singapore’s finance technology recruitment market has undergone a transformation and demand for skills is now incredibly high, according to specialist recruiter Hays.
“Singapore is rapidly becoming a leading financial centre in its own right and offers a wider range of products and services to local and global markets than ever before,” said Chris Mead, General Manager of Hays in Singapore.
“As a result, the demand for finance technology candidates has never been higher. While traditionally Singapore has been considered an ideal location for global banks to build development, support and infrastructure hubs to support their expanding global requirements, more firms are now enhancing their presence in Singapore to align these technology centres to trading desks. This is creating a greater need for technologists who have a more diverse skill set including specific knowledge of traded instruments.
“In order to meet the growing demands of this environment, Hays is taking significant steps to expand our recruitment services in this unique arena,” said Chris.
Hays has introduced a specialist business unit, Hays Finance Technology, dedicated to recruiting in this unique area and in January will introduce two new finance technology recruitment consultants (Andrew Barber and Brett Marsh) to the Hays Finance Technology business. Together this team has more than 15 years recruitment experience and will continue to increase the quality and services available to local finance technology employers and candidates.
The addition of these recruitment consultants to our already established and growing team means Hays Finance Technology in Singapore can provide a wider range of financial technology recruitment services to employers.
Hays Finance Technology is the leading global provider of mid to upper level information technology and business technology staff to financial markets. Their client portfolio spans the world"s leading investment banks, capital market divisions of retail banks, asset management companies, hedge funds, brokerages, exchanges and boutique financial software providers. The global Hays Finance Technology recruitment team recruits on both a permanent and contractual basis for information and business technologists, from mid level to Director CIO level positions across the specialist financial services sector.
