Financial services teams: stop trading speed for quality
Today, 83% of financial services teams are struggling with a talent shortage.
The industry is feeling the strain. With 340,000 fewer accountants in the U.S. compared to previous years and an average time-to-hire exceeding 60 days, financial institutions are under pressure to fill critical roles without compromising on quality.
Yet, as the financial services market surges toward $36 trillion by 2025, the need for skilled, compliant, and trustworthy professionals has never been greater. The challenge? Balancing speed, scale, and candidate quality in an increasingly competitive talent landscape.
