Jobs in Financial Services IT
We have a strong heritage within the banking and finance sector, with long-established client relationships yielding premium access to roles across the spectrum of technology disciplines and asset classes.
In this fiercely competitive market, our clients always seek the best talent available. Technology is at the forefront of the banks’ drive for competitive advantage, and finding the right people with the skills to turn projects around quickly and efficiently is essential.
Clients rely on us to provide a pool of skilled IT candidates – from senior executives to entry level technologists - who will fit seamlessly into their organisation and immediately add value.
I would highly recommend using Nicoll Curtin. You made the entire interview process more exciting than nerve wrecking which speaks volumes about the support you provided. Thank you!!

Industry trends
The financial services industry was affected by the recent recession, which also impacted the IT candidate community in 2010. Some banks implemented hiring freezes, and projects were put on hold as banks took a cautious approach to managing budgets. Due to the strategic importance of technology, the IT sector proved more resilient, and recruitment into this area has remained strong.
In some areas, banks have experienced a shortage of quality candidates, and whilst they prefer financial services experience, they are increasingly looking to pull in IT professionals with similar skill sets from other industries. Strong competition for talent naturally creates opportunities for candidates with drive and ambition to progress rapidly up the career ladder and increase their earnings.
