It looks like the market for `financial dream jobs´ may have actually perked up amidst the financial turmoil of the past few months.
Investment managers saw a 22% increase in job offers as rival firms take advantage of the increasing number of financial services workers looking for a job by “snapping up the cream of the crop on much less than they would have been able to 6 months ago,” according to Powerchex Limited.
Hedge fund and insurance companies also made more employment offers than 6 months ago as those companies who have been able to remain stable through the turmoil prepare to put themselves at the head of the pack to take advantage of any economic recovery.
Here is another site I came across, it looks pretty new, but I’ll keep tabs on it through this blog as I think it has potential: www.hedgemyjob.com.
