The rise of the digital economy and emerging FinTech entrants to the UK market has has focused a spotlight on talent – mainly, how to attract and retain the right people, with the necessary digital skills to help build and grow the FinTech industry in Great Britain.
Issues around Brexit, diversity and inclusion as well as education and training all impact best practice in hiring and cultivating digital talent. That is why Magna Carta Communications and FinTECHTalents have teamed up to create research into this space.
- What digital skills are most in demand and lacking in the UK?
- What are the salaries talent can expect, not only from large banks, but new FinTech entrants?
- How has Brexit impacted the talent pool – if at all?
- What the industry can do to employ a workforce that more closely reflects society at large?
The results of the research will be unveiled at the FinTECH Talents event to be held at Here East this October and will serve as a policy document to aid the UK government.
