T+O+M bullish about the future.

  T+O+M see early signs of a Financial sector recruitment stirring.  

Arguably, more closely linked to Aussie banks than most other recruiters, T+O+M sees early signs of recruitment activity.  

‘We are entwined into the financial sector fabric very closely’ stated T+O+M partner Ben Tallentire ‘and having experienced serious down-turns previously, we think we can pick the signs of change. Even though the last six months have been challenging, our clients have continued to hire due to staff churn, but recently’ Tallentire added  ‘we sense a change of attitude and openness’.  

According to Tallentire, initial tentative approaches have turned solid. ‘Some of our clients approach us stating “…although we have a cap, we’re looking for…XDX … happen to know someone?” And once we provide candidate recommendations, inevitable another enquiry often follows about another vacancy. It seems once the ‘break’ is made, more follows. This has only just started to happen, but we sense it’s a good sign.’  

‘Amidst all the turmoil, the inter bank movers are setting themselves and their companies for the future, employing at times, highly selected and experienced individuals. I took a call from New York searching for an individual with an unusual set of skills, to be placed in Singapore’ Ben stated. ‘It took a hunt, but T+O+M found the right candidate in the UAE who will fly for an interview next week. The client was delighted stating he had briefed recruiters in New York and Hong Kong with no success.’ T+O+M’s success in the Financial Services sector is now World Wide, with Tallentire visiting clients and candidates regularly, wherever they operate.  

‘Asia being a much larger market than Australia, its rate of churn is obviously greater and opportunities occur more frequently. We are currently placing candidates in Singapore and Hong Kong; those markets haven’t ‘died’ even though there are retrenchments in certain areas and with certain banks. Don’t discount other Asian markets including the Philippines and never underestimate China and its ability to respond quickly to its Government initiatives’. Tallentire added.
