Financial Services
Onward and upward
This industry includes capital markets, corporate finance, M&A, commercial banking, retail banking and consumer financial services, insurance, asset management, and wealth management. We work with companies across all these sectors.
Banks have come under unprecedented scrutiny in the last year or so, and the business models of many have been revealed as flawed. However, many banks have stayed clear of toxic debt and subprime loans, and remain very profitable. As other banks fall by the wayside, the better-controlled ones have opportunities for mergers and acquisitions. All of this is fuelling the need for seasoned banking professionals who can take companies through the current situation and into the uplands of opportunity beyond.
Financial advisory firms and insurers are also somewhat proof against the economic slowdown; a number of types of insurance are essential rather than luxuries. Furthermore, the low interest rate environment we now inhabit is creating new challenges to devise attractive vehicles for savers and investors.
Asset and wealth management houses, venture capitalists and corporate finance companies all continue to require excellent people. Mergers and acquisitions continue to occur, fuelled in some instances by rivals failing to perform under more testing times. Such activities call for highly skilled and experienced personnel who can advise firms on the best strategies and tactics to move forward.
We work with many of the leading names in these fields, many of whom use Artemis exclusively for their recruitment solutions.
