Welcome to the inaugural Frazer Jones New York HR market report for the financial and professional services markets!

As we reflect on the dynamic people and talent job market throughout 2024, it is clear that 2025 will be characterized by a blend of strategic recalibration and cautious optimism.

Following a subdued start to 2024, we have seen a significant uptick in activity, and all signs point to this momentum continuing into 2025. The primary indicator for this has been the uplift in demand for talent acquisition and learning and development professionals. Some businesses have experienced a trickier time than others. In some cases, businesses are looking to build out already established teams, but in other cases, organizations are rebuilding their people functions.

However, the overall positive sentiment towards flexible working remains and organizations offering flexibility often have more talent available to them.

Our team is formed of specialist HR recruitment professionals who on average have 17 years of recruitment experience. Our teams support across three key practice areas, human resources, total rewards and contract and consulting.

We hope that this guide helps you navigate this environment. Should you wish to discuss it in detail, or for a confidential conversation about recruitment or your career, please do get in touch today.

We invite you to download the complete report by filling in the form below, or for an in-depth discussion on any of the material in the report please contact a member of our team in the US today.
