Click to view the London Financial Services Salary Survey 2012

We recently surveyed over 370 hiring managers and professionals working across financial services in London to hear their predictions for hiring and remuneration for 2012.

Survey highlights show that only 12% of those in the permanent market are feeling more confident about job availability compared to this time last year. On a more positive note, just over a third (35%) are optimistic that salaries will rise over the course of 2012 while 50% expect salaries to stay at their current levels.

The mixed findings of our survey clearly reflect the lack of visibility and turbulence in the hiring market as the new year begins. It is well known that financial markets thrive on stability. Therefore a conclusion to the eurozone crisis and clarity on regulatory issues such as the Vickers report should bring greater transparency and confidence to the banking system in the UK.

We hope you find this salary survey informative and welcome your feedback. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support and wish you all the best for 2012.
