HAYS TECHNOLOGY FORMS STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP
A “Specialist division” of Hays, Hays Technology has formed a partnership with FinTech Scotland with the aim of ensuring a healthy pipeline of tech talent.
FinTech Scotland is a cluster management organisation which enables collaborative innovation in the financial services sector.
This comes after new research shows that nine of the top 20 salary increases in Scotland for 2021 are related to the FinTech sector, highlighting an increased demand for such roles.
To address the demand for niche talent in FinTech, Hays Technology will support the Scottish FinTech cluster in recruiting for skills in fields such as cyber security, mobile banking, cloud applications, AI and blockchain solutions.
Justin Black, director of Hays Technology in Scotland, said: “Through our recruitment knowledge, best practice and global network, we’ll be able to inform FinTech Scotland’s strategy, ensuring that the demand for FinTech skills is met, and maintained, with a healthy talent stream.”
Nicola Anderson, chief executive of FinTech Scotland, (pictured above) said: “”Since we launched FinTech Scotland in 2018, we’ve been working closely with Skills Development Scotland, Scottish universities, businesses and government agencies to ensure that skills providers are meeting the needs of tomorrow’s financial community.
“Having access to Hays Technology’s extensive knowledge and data research on how best to attract the required skills makes them an ideal partner to help us fulfil our objectives, whether it’s for start-ups, scale-ups or established organisations.”
