 Characteristics

 Banks is a market that is noted for the high level of turnover and movement that it has undergone in recent years, owing to the implementations of new financial institutions, the growth of those that have already been consolidated and development of new business areas.  

What times is the sector living through?

The sector finds itself in constant growth and in constant development, which has all originated owing to the large level of existing competition. Mention should be made of the rapid growth that building societies have undergone, above that of the banks, and the constant appearance of new products that the institutions commercialise.

 Because of the non-stop growth in the sector, institutions are nowadays looking for alternatives and new strategies, so as to be able to deal with the competition, based on brand loyalty and good running of the business, and not so much on external growth. The trend is towards the creation of added value services and the optimisation and improvement of resources.

How has headhunting been affected?

 This is all reflected in our work, when it comes to selection. While previously the priority was to have a manager with knowledge of the area and brought a portfolio of clients, selection is now more orientated towards professionals with experience in the position, who possess abilities for building loyalty amongst clients and the proper running of the portfolio.
