Introduction
Competition amongst businesses for top talent makes it critical to ensure both recruitment and retention
strategies are fit for purpose.
2016 will see hiring and remuneration trends continue on balance compared to the previous 24 months with
both micro and macro-economic uncertainty presenting interesting challenges for many employers.
The mid-term outlook suggests pay scales and retention methods will be critical to retaining and attracting
talent into any business. The changing demographic of candidate needs will have to be addressed with
employers putting increased thought leadership into forward thinking development cycles to ensure attraction
models are relevant to a changing generation of employees and advances in technology. Candidate movement
will still remain robust though it is clear from our findings companies acknowledge that career development is
as valuable as pay.
Over the last two years we have seen more conservative increases in pay and we anticipate this will continue
throughout 2016 with employers encouraged to provide opportunities of personal growth and improvement.
This will be particularly evident in fast growing technology streams where candidates will be enticed to
develop skills throughout as well as impacting needs. Tailored reward packages including clear career paths,
development cycles and flexible working are key to talent attraction and successfully attracting the talent of
today and tomorrow.
Very clearly remuneration is critical to all and with industries in the middle of technological innovation and
globalization of the way your staff are rewarded will make or break business growth strategy.
This is why iKas international are more committed to providing a more meaningful candidate and client
experience than ever before.
We sincerely hope you find the information within valuable and informative. We are absolutely committed to
developing talent identification and driving true valued partnerships.

General Market Overview
2015 and Q1 2016 have been somewhat shrouded in uncertainty as global markets have
experienced some rises, but mostly falls. Members of Investment Banking leadership have
made attention-drawing comments on compensation and while the technology functions
have lower expectations than in the past, they continue to provide a higher level of pay
than in other sectors.
Regulatory initiatives continue to be heavily resourced (particularly within the contracting
market) as well as the Front Office which supports the hiring trends over the last twelve
months. While most organisations are rationalising their technology estate, which is driving
a considerable amount of hiring, others have identified key areas of investment for business
growth which is creating greater opportunity for technologists, particularly within software
development and business analysis.
The outlook for the year continues to be quite positive for the banking technology
landscape, but there is still a great deal of competition for jobs in some areas (such
as project management) while in other technical areas there is a huge demand for
candidates and currently a skills shortage in Big Data, Cloud / EaaS / XaaS and front
end software development.
Our advice for candidates is to prepare as fully for interviews as possible, particularly with
regards to core competencies and achievements. For clients the priority is to manage their
recruitment processes effectively, this includes clearly understanding candidates’ prime
motivational factors as well as ensuring interviewers are well prepared, are consistent with
how the roles, requirements and opportunities are portrayed and able to maintain momentum
to keep candidate engagement high.

Software Development
Application Development is consistently a busy area for organisational hiring, however as technology
evolves and the speed of software delivery becomes increasingly important the skills required
across software development are growing. Core languages such as Java, C++ and C# are still
the most sought after, however the demand for Java is now much higher than C++ or C#.
The tactical development space, VBA and other RAD development techniques are in lower demand
due to banks migrating towards strategic systems. The demand for Big Data technologies and
tools including Hadoop, Spark, etc. is continuing to grow as banks move from proof of concept to
production projects.
Python continues to be a highly sought after development language and many organisations
are now forced to search outside of the banking sector to find candidates. The alternative and
increasingly common approach is to hire software developers who are proven in other languages,
have explored Python in their own time and have the appetite to change their career focus in this
direction. Similarly Scala, HTML5, JavaScript (and particularly associated frameworks) are all part
of technology strategies but supply doesn’t meet demand for permanent or contract hiring resulting
in increased pay levels.

Business Analysis / Testing / QA
Remuneration in these areas has remained fairly static over the last twelve months for both
contractors and permanent staff, however there has been a significant focus from many
organisations on hiring permanent staff with 3-6 years’ experience. This “AVP” level has been
critical to resourcing strategies to help reduce and control the cost base while securing talent
who have cut their teeth at similar organisations and developed a sound understanding of
business analysis and of the business they support. The organisations focused on hiring at this
level understand the need for personal development and have built effective frameworks to
accommodate this investment programme.
A strong Tester’s automation skills have gone from being a desired quality to a necessity now
in most forward-thinking QA functions. This has meant the technology around this area has
advanced and we are seeing many more mandates for QA Engineers with strong development
backgrounds. Dev Ops has also played a part in making technologies like Cucumber, Selenium
and Soap UI popular skills in strong candidates. Agile experience is also highly advantageous.

Project / Programme Management / Functional Management
There has been significant hiring in the Project and Programme Management market over the last
twelve months, with a consistent demand across several key areas; Risk, Regulatory, Information
Security and Data Analytics. Conversely there has been very little hiring and investment in revenue
generating areas of banking. We anticipate this will continue for 2016 but emerging challenges
around block-chain technology, the digital ecosystem, security and jettisoning legacy technology
will also create opportunity for those who have a demonstrable track record of delivering cost savings
and or increased value. Domain knowledge remains a core requirement for most managers but skills
around managing risk, stakeholders, budgets and timely delivery have often been highlighted
by clients as higher priority.

Infrastructure & Support
Infrastructure as part of the technology landscape is set to continue its revolution. There will
continue to be lots of opportunity for strong infrastructure support and engineering experience
but exposure and practical knowledge within Big Data and XaaS is practically guaranteed to offer
choice, personal development and increased earning potential. Many organisations have decided
their strategic paths from an infrastructure perspective but hiring contractors or permanent staff
with the levels of experience continues to be a challenge and often there is a need to take from
other sectors which have been earlier adopters of these technologies.
