nGAGE Talent’s Post

The smaller the business, the harder it will be to recruit & onboard staff, which is the cruel irony for small business because they also have the least resources to deal with this challenge. I've shared discussions with 100s of small business owners over the last fortnight, right across Australia as I've toured with the AFG State roadshows - stopping today in Brisbane to connect with Mortgage Brokers from Queensland & Northern NSW.    So many have echoed this challenge.    Systems, processes, documentation, training & time are routinely all in short supply or non-existent in small business. So onboarding & orientating without such is tricky.    Furthermore, in small business roles are typically broader - all the same functions are required to be done, but there's less people to divide them up amongst. So this means there's lots more to show the new staff member how to do.    Fortunately for AFG Mortgage Brokers, we've got a great Academy program that comprehensively orientates and onboards Assistants for them - covering all the fundamentals, tools & software they'll need their Assistant to use.    But don't despair if you're not, at PeoplePartners Inc. we do all the Recruitment to match your exact needs and then help our small to medium businesses with guidance, templates and support to conquer the onboarding challenge. 👊 *** PS - I help Leaders Scale Profitable & Efficient Organisations with Strategic Offshore Staffing Solutions If you liked this post, please reshare and follow Reuben Brennan for more content like this #Recruitment #Onboarding #SmallBusiness #SMB  #SmallBusinessChallenges #RecruitmentSolutions #BusinessGrowth  #AFGRoadshow 

Let me spotlight this post to try and gain some insight. If you're a recruiter or a firm which provides recruitment services, how are you able to judge "competence", "dedication", "motivation", and other "soft skills"? How are you able to mitigate the information gap in CV and résumé evaluation at scale -- a gap which ranges between 25% to 50%? I'm curious to learn what you're contending with.

UK fintech job vacancies surge as investors flock back to London #gottalovelondon London is driving a surge in UK fintech recruitment this year, data shared exclusively with City AM shows, as start-ups push for rapid growth amid a rebound in investment after a rough couple of years. Fintech is the top performing category within UK financial services for job openings in 2024, according to a report by recruiter Morgan McKinley and data firm Vacancysoft. It forecast that if the current pace of recruitment continues, the number of fintech vacancies will be 37 per cent higher in 2024 than 2023. The capital is leading the way, with a 61 per cent year-on-year jump in fintech job openings between January and April. IT was the single largest area of recruitment, making up 41 per cent of the vacancies. Two-thirds (67 per cent) of these openings were based in London, the capital’s highest share in five years. Technology roles saw a 41 per cent uplift in vacancies, driven by development and engineering. IT security recruitment has slowed, meanwhile, with an eight per cent increase. London also posted an 87 per cent rise in risk and compliance openings. Nationwide, these vacancies are on track to grow 43 per cent this year. The report named Fidelity National Information Services (FIS), Starling Bank, Deel and Checkout.com as the firms with the most vacancies so far this year. The figures come as fintechs eye a funding rebound in 2024 after an interest rate-fuelled drop-off in investment over the previous two years. The UK has been hit particularly hard, with a torrid 2023 that saw investment in the country’s fintech sector drop more than a third from the previous year, data from KPMG shows. However, the first three months of 2024 saw fintech companies retake the top spot for UK start-up investment after raising $1.4bn (£1.1bn) in funding across 73 rounds, according to Dealroom and HSBC. The biggest deals have seen digital bank Monzo land $610m (£490m) in new funding this year and savings platform Flagstone secure £108m from US private equity. Both firms are based in London. “As we navigate through 2024, the fintech sector is experiencing dynamic shifts in recruitment, driven by technological advancements, regulatory changes and evolving consumer behaviours,” said Victoria Walmsley, a managing director at Morgan McKinley. “Companies seek expertise in AI, machine learning, and data analytics, along with compliance and risk management. The continuous push towards digital banking and heightened cybersecurity threats are key drivers of these trends. “Looking ahead, emerging technologies like blockchain and the internet of things will drive further demand for specialised talent. The fintech sector is poised for sustained growth, with opportunities for remote and internationally diverse talent.”

2024 kicked off in high gear and over the last six months we’ve seen noticeable growth in the secondaries, fundraising, infrastructure, and private credit spaces. The focus for this year has been on hiring strategically; with firms willing to wait for the perfect candidate who is aligned in every aspect, including skills and cultural fit. While fundraising is still challenging, firms have continued to add to their IR teams. Global alternatives managers also see private wealth as a strong source of capital, and have been proactively building out sales teams to better tap this channel. Many of our clients are still seeing significant white space in the secondaries market and are pursuing opportunities to strategically hire, form partnerships with firms, and execute acquisitions. We’ve seen all three pushes in the last year and anticipate this will continue throughout 2024. Inflows of talent into infrastructure strategies have also stayed strong this year, with multi-asset managers doubling down on their infrastructure products. These include expanding existing product suites, acquiring infrastructure GPs, as well as adding registered infrastructure strategies to complement their private wealth offerings. In the private credit space, we have seen firms turning their attention to building out more niche strategies such as structured finance, asset-based lending, and junior capital, with the aim to differentiate themselves from more traditional forms of direct lending. At Norgay Partners, we are finding that if the combination of opportunity and cultural fit is not present, a candidate will likely stay put. It is our job to have a deep understanding of specific skill sets as well as the all-important culture fit to successfully enhance careers and help clients grow their businesses. #recruitment #secondaries #fundraising #infrastructure #privatecredit #culturefit
