Asset management recruitment insights
FAQs
The market in Australia is highly competitive, particularly in Sydney and Melbourne. Demand is strong in superannuation, wealth management, and investment funds, which creates pressure on firms to secure and retain skilled professionals quickly.
Most candidates hold degrees in finance, economics, or accounting. Professional certifications such as the CFA, CPA Australia, or CA ANZ are highly valued, especially for senior and technical positions. Employers also look for strong analytical and communication skills.
On average, hiring in Australia takes between six and ten weeks. Senior leadership or niche technical positions may take longer, particularly if the search includes international talent.
Local hiring provides regulatory familiarity and cultural alignment, especially with ASIC and APRA requirements. However, international professionals can bring global expertise and specialist skills. Many Australian firms adopt a combined approach for greater flexibility.
Firms in Australia often compete by offering competitive salary packages, career development opportunities, and flexible working arrangements. Professionals are also drawn to organisations that demonstrate strong culture, a clear growth strategy, and long-term stability.
