FINANCE AND OPERATIONS

Demand is substantial for these crucial backend roles . The post-pandemic expansion of businesses was driven by frontend roles ( sales , marketing and business development ) but now key finance and operations functions need to be bolstered . HR too continues to play a vital role , particularly in managing multi-location workforces and in creating unity between remote teams . Finance has seen large amounts of hiring , particularly in leadership roles and financial planning analysis . Hiring still predominantly focuses on in-office working which has caused issues getting the right people in the right places . Kerry Gillitt

MARKETING

The marketing function has been very busy this year across the board with affiliate and retention hires being the most prevalent . The move to more remote working has led to clients being able to attract talent from a bigger pool . This has led to a rise in contractors working remotely and invoicing the business on a higher salary , though with no benefits . It is still a candidate-short market and companies are aggressively counteroffering their staff to hold on to talent . Marketing is still seen as a key function to differentiate your brand from the crowd and talent budgets therefore remain significant . Gareth Mulley

PRODUCT AND PROJECT

Amid an industry-wide skills shortage , product and project roles are among the most sought-after . Experience commands a serious premium , and with candidate engagement at a historic low , employers have to work harder than ever to attract . The industry ’ s continued success ensures bonus targets are being hit , and candidates have begun to demand these be built into their base – a big ask but one that employers are increasingly entertaining . Remote roles are in demand , but hybrid ( 2-3 days in the office ) is significantly more common . Darren Kirby
