UK ramps global hiring

BambooHR surveyed 780 senior decision-makers across the United States, the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland, Canada, and Australia and found 84% of UK respondents said they were somewhat or very optimistic about their company’s growth over the next year. (bamboohr.com) The report shows companies that already hire internationally are more than twice as likely to report confidence in expansion (51% vs. 26%) and are twice as likely to be in “aggressive investment” mode (8% vs. 4%), signalling operational readiness for cross‑border hiring. (bamboohr.com) Recruitment trackers from Morgan McKinley project a 37% year‑on‑year vacancy surge in London fintech for 2026, with technology roles accounting for roughly 41% of fintech vacancies and specialist risk & compliance openings growing sharply. (morganmckinley.com) Platform snapshots show at least 246 quantitative developer vacancies advertised in London in March 2026, and multiple top‑tier listings for algorithm/quant roles specify Python and C++ plus statistical and ML toolkits such as Pandas/Numpy in their candidate requirements. (glassdoor.co.uk) Regional demand beyond London is visible in Manchester, where job aggregators recorded dozens of active fintech openings (Adzuna listed about 89 fintech roles in March 2026) and graduate portals like Gradcracker and university career services continue to advertise graduate fintech/quant roles and internships for 2026 starters.
