Key Takeaways for Hiring Managers
1. Move Fast and Sell Your Opportunity
1. In a competitive market, efficiency is key. Streamline your interview process as much as possible and keep communication clear, but focus just as much on what candidates experience along the way. Risk professionals often find themselves with multiple offers on the table, so use each interview stage to showcase your culture, career pathways, and team impact. As well as speed, your goal is to ensure that candidates walk away impressed, whether they join or not.
2. Be Flexible to Retain Your Best People
Retention challenges remain one of the biggest hurdles in today’s market. While compensation still drives decisions, flexibility, recognition, and development opportunities often make the difference between keeping or losing top talent. Offering hybrid or location-flexible work models, transparent career progression, and access to training in areas like AI and automation can dramatically improve retention rates.
3. Plan Now for Tomorrow’s Skills
As the meeting of regulation and technology redefines the risk function, AI and automation are creating new demands for technically skilled professionals with regulatory understanding. Hiring managers should anticipate these needs by building relationships with data-driven and AI-savvy candidates early. Proactive talent pipelining and investment in internal upskilling will ensure your firm can adapt quickly as new frameworks and technologies come into play.
