Investment Banking
The influence of the investment banking sector reaches far beyond immediate money markets and finance to every facet of daily life for people across the planet. The financial flows generated through investment underpin every business endeavour and provides the landscape in which business can exist and function freely – it plays the most critical part in the success of new businesses, in economic growth, and prosperity.
We’ve been working with organisations in this sector since 2006, delivering a variety of solutions for some of the world’s leading banks. One of our most significant partnerships is a truly global relationship with a world-leading investment bank. In this partnership, AMS delivers recruitment services in 44 countries across EMEA, the Americas and Asia Pacific. In addition, we deliver a wide array of recruitment, sourcing and talent services to several other leading investment banks.

Challenges
The sector is extremely competitive with all investment banking organisations competing strongly for a relatively small pool of talent. Industry-specific recruitment experience is prized, posing unique challenges for recruiters – simply put, recruiters must have deep knowledge of the sector in order to be able to understand their client’s requirements, match these to available talent, and find pockets of hidden talent to work with. Brand differentiation is a major issue, and a passive candidate workforce makes recruitment very hard work.
Our Solutions
Our solutions are similar in design and yet different in structure as we focus on driving outcomes for our clients. Regardless of the goal – saving time and money, increasing retention, building a better workforce or developing a strong employer brand – we’re able to craft the right solution.
In all cases, there’s a requirement for high-involvement, high-touch, and high-value services delivered onsite. Our staff sit onsite, embedded into and fully aligned with their client teams, allowing us to provide a far greater level of interaction with hiring managers and the broader talent community. This strategic alignment ensures that we’re delivering the right talent at the right time, but more importantly gives us the ability to work with the hiring community, predicting and managing cyclical peaks and troughs in demand or supporting strategic projects.
We also provide extensive offsite support, using specialists in our network of offsite and offshore Global Client Service Centres to manage the more administrative recruitment tasks. This approach ensures we’re able to deliver a continuous high level of service to clients.
In addition, our consultancy practices provide valuable market intelligence, keeping a close eye on competitor activities and feeding this back to the hiring community. Teams may also contain in-house executive talent consultants who undertake market mapping and search projects. Assessment and selection teams provide valuable screening services, while our in-house communications agency designs and executes innovative campaigns to boost our client employer brands, motivating the passive candidate market.
The next generation of candidates is well served – our Emerging Talent teams have executed campaigns throughout the world, giving clients access to the top performers of the future.
