The Hidden Risk in 2025 and 2026
​
-
1 in 3 financial professionals are open to leaving their firm within 12 months.
-
Replacing a mid-level hire in London costs £50k+ once you add recruitment fees, training, and lost productivity.
-
In a low-hiring market, losing key staff hurts more than not hiring at all.
​
​​​​​​
​Why Contingency Recruitment Can Fail You
​
-
Only activates after damage is done.
-
Expensive, unpredictable, and purely transactional.
-
Offers no protection against talent attrition.
