Lots of new clients in Financial Services

Posted by Wendy Weber

I’ve noticed an interesting trend.

In the past several weeks, we have acquired several new clients in the financial services sector.

For years, recruiting direct marketers with a knowledge of the financial sector was a large part of our recruiting practice; our clients included Wells Fargo, Citibank, HSBC, and many others.  But for whatever reason…though I think the financial crisis of 2008 certainly played a large part…requests to fill positions for financial institutions have been down.

In a surprising twist, new clients on both coasts and in between, have recently engaged us to fill positions including VP Marketing, Marketing Manager, VP Digital, and Marketing Director.

We have the “inventory”…hundreds of candidates with financial marketing experience that registered with us so that we would make them aware of career opportunities.  Although of course we will reach out to new prospects as well, leaving no stone unturned to find the best talent for our new clients.

We are excited about the resurgence of assignments in this sector!
