Labour Market Trends in the U.K.
The U.K. job market is undergoing long-term structural changes, including an aging workforce and an increasing need for highly skilled professionals in technology and finance. The gap between demand and supply has created skill shortages, particularly in digital and analytical roles. The report provides a detailed analysis of universities offering relevant courses, helping businesses identify top talent sources.
Key Hiring Trends in BFSI
The report highlights the concentration of finance professionals in major financial hubs. New York has approximately 16,000 risk analysts and 42,000 financial analysts, while London boasts 19,000 risk analysts and 48,000 financial analysts. However, emerging locations such as Leeds and Tampa have witnessed significant growth, with an annual talent supply increase of 5.6% and 4.1%, respectively.
Salary Benchmarking and Cost-Effective Hiring
With rising costs in traditional financial hubs, businesses are expanding recruitment efforts to lower-cost locations such as Prague and Budapest. In these cities, financial analysts earn around $50,000 annually—less than half of salaries in New York and London. Similarly, software developers and network engineers earn over $125,000 in San Francisco, Paris, and New York, while salaries in Amsterdam, Frankfurt, and Oslo range between $80,000 and $100,000. Data scientists and cybersecurity analysts command the highest median salaries across all locations.
Job Demand and Workforce Planning
The study analyzes job postings over different time frames to assess demand pressure—the ratio of job demand to talent supply. High-demand pressure in locations such as the Bay Area and Berlin (above 30% for tech roles) and New York and London (high for finance roles) has led businesses to explore talent pools in emerging locations like Tampa, Budapest, and Manchester, where demand for finance professionals has grown by over 25% in the past year.
The Growth of Tech Skills in BFSI
The BFSI sector is increasingly hiring tech professionals with expertise in regulatory frameworks such as IFRS9 and BASEL, alongside developers, network engineers, and ethical hackers. This trend has been growing for over five years, with financial institutions integrating technology to enhance operations and security.
