Lo Cost Recruiter
Ian Doyle Recruitment the specialist niche Lo-Cost Recruiter for the Mortgage Broking , Packaging and lending industry has repeated calls for the industry to more widely promote itself to young people within the educational arena.
Lo Cost recruitment guru and M.D. Ian Doyle commented : "It seems crazy that a company wanting by way of example an accountant may have the opportunity to choose a successful graduate trained on a recognised accountancy course at a local university, and yet within the multi billion pound financial services industry there is no direct access to choose similar levels of talent. Whilst it is true many companies want experience there are an equal number who would welcome new entrants to the industry at a junior level with a recognised qualification, compliance issues could be addressed once a new start is onboard. This would allow a new generation of finance professionals to come through much earlier".
"Surely there is an opportunity to offer a specified level of industry based financial service training through normal educational channels to a much wider audience in exactly the same way that other subjects are offered. By way of example certain parts of the CeMap or the Financial Planning Certificate syllabus could easily covered in a similar way to other courses, not only would this stimulate the job sector but would also more widely publicise the industry and the potential benefits of working within financial services to a new and wider audience. With the industry booming and many companies crying out for skilled candidates, surely now is the time to lobby for and develop a platform where industry courses which channel new blood to the Financial Service industry, is promoted in exactly the same way that other industries attract new talent".
