Meeting the challenges of strategic sectors

The banking, finance, insurance and mutual insurance sectors are undergoing profound changes. Firstly, the digital dimension is redefining internal processes and customer services. This technological revolution, marked in particular by the adoption of artificial intelligence, blockchain and big data, is driving these industries to recruit talent with cutting-edge technical skills.

Secondly, these sectors are also faced with an ageing workforce, which will inevitably lead to a renewal of teams. Find out how our Actual Talent experts are helping companies in the banking, finance and insurance sectors with their recruitment needs. We offer companies in the sector tailor-made solutions, with an understanding and consideration of the sector-specific challenges

Banking: Stay agile and ahead of the game in a fast-changing sector

The UK banking sector is undergoing an unprecedented transformation. The rise of fintechs and increasing digitalisation are forcing traditional banks to rethink their business models and adapt their structures to remain competitive. New challenges linked to the customer experience, cyber security and process optimisation are calling for a reskilling of teams. The need for new profiles capable of mastering cutting-edge technologies has become obvious. Banks need to attract talent with advanced technical skills. For sustainable recruitment, the assessment of soft skills, such as adaptability and communication, is becoming an asset for the success of HR projects.

Finance: Digital revolution and human evolution: meeting the challenges of the financial sector

The financial sector is undergoing unprecedented human and technological change. Every day, professionals have to navigate a fast-changing environment, integrate cutting-edge technologies and comply with complex regulations. Behind the figures and algorithms, there are men and women who are adapting, learning and rising to new challenges, every day. Far from being limited to technical skills, finance also requires human qualities when it comes to supporting individual and professional customers. Beyond technical skills, finance is evolving towards a more ethical consciousness. Profiles in green finance and responsible investment are becoming increasingly important.

At Actual Talent, we understand that successful transformation in finance is first and foremost about people. That’s why we adopt an approach that focuses on candidates in their entirety and uniqueness. Each profile is carefully selected to match not only the skills required, but also the culture and values of the company. Our consultants help organisations to find the talent they need to thrive in a demanding environment, putting people at the heart of this digital revolution.

Insurance and mutuals: Managing the risks to your recruitment with the right support

The insurance and mutuals sector is at the heart of risk management, protecting property, people and businesses. It faces major challenges, including the digitisation of services, the emergence of new risks (such as cyber risks and climate change), and changing customer expectations in terms of product customisation. The rise of insurtechs is also putting pressure on traditional players, forcing them to innovate to remain competitive.

Recruitment in the insurance sector must respond to the growing demand for talent capable of mastering emerging technologies (AI, data science and advanced analytics) and managing more complex risks. Actuaries, risk management experts and compliance specialists are particularly in demand. At the same time, attracting and recruiting emerging talent appears to be a necessity in order to open up and secure the future for everyone.
