New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/31/2022 -- PwC announced recently that the financial services giant is going to be investing $12 billion over the next five years in a major hiring drive. These resources are being channeled into creating 100,000 jobs that are specifically focused on providing more support for clients that are trying to come to terms with climate and diversity reporting, as well as the role of AI in global strategy. The firm intends to find new talent via its mergers and acquisitions, as well as directly headhunting from competitors. Up to 30,000 of the new hires are going to be made in the US and at least 10% will be drawn from black and LatinX communities. The practice of examining the impact a business is having on the environment, as well as diversity within an organization, is becoming increasingly common and for some asset managers, investment decisions are now made purely on the basis of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors.
PwC is not the only firm currently looking to pour resources into helping clients solve key questions around climate change, ESG and technology, as this is becoming a common theme across banking and financial services. At Selby Jennings, financial recruitment jobs necessarily mean taking into account the impact that sustainable outlook shifts are having on every client. The firm was established in 2004 and has evolved alongside the banking and financial services sector, including with respect to financial recruitment jobs.

Over the years, Selby Jennings has nurtured a database of more than a million mid-to-senior professionals. The firm is also very well connected and has worked with a broad swathe of organizations, from start-ups to global institutions. Permanent, contract and multi-hire solutions ensure that options can be tailored to every recruitment objective.
Given the global nature of financial recruitment jobs, it has been vital for Selby Jennings to provide extensive national and international coverage. In the US, the firm's network covers most major cities including Dallas, Los Angeles, New York, Chicago and San Francisco.
