WHAT MAKES FS HIRING DIFFERENT
What makes FS hiring different.
Regulation shapes the role.
MAS TRM, outsourcing and third-party risk rules, and incident reporting all decide what a good hire looks like. We brief candidates on this before they meet you.
Each sector hires differently.
A digital bank and an insurer want different CISOs. Our H2 2026 report breaks hiring down across six FS sectors.
Pay moves fast.
Head-of-function pay in Cloud and Application Security rose 10–12% in H1 2026. We give you current numbers, not last year's survey.
