KEY TRENDS
1 There is increased demand for Sales and Business Development professionals across Life and
General Insurance as companies look to increase their market share. Qualifications are
essential in this space with QFA being a requirement for Life and Investment organisations and
CIP for General and Health Insurance
3 There will be a continued requirement for Compliance Analysts with an LCOI (Licentiate of the
Association of Compliance Officers in Ireland) qualification with companies offering long term
and permanent contracts. Experts in Data Protection, AML (Anti-Money Laundering), KYC
(Know Your Customer) and Risk will be sought after in 2015
4 The increased volume of roles for entry to mid level professionals on a contract basis is
expected to continue primarily in the insurance administration and support functions

KEY TRENDS
1 There is continued growth in recruitment within the corporate legal sector, primarily
within the top tier law firms and the in-house legal departments of multinationals and
financial services companies.
2 Property, construction and conveyancing are the key areas driving the most growth
within the mid-tier and small firms.
3 There has been a significant increase in the demand for company secretaries who are
qualified members of the ICSA. This is mainly due to the Companies Bill 2012 enacted
into law in the latter half of 2014.
4 Qualified solicitors with at least 3-4 years post qualified experience will be most in-
demand within the larger firms and in-house throughout 2015. Expertise within banking,
funds, commercial, intellectual property, litigation, employment, insurance, property,
compliance and regulatory will be the most sought after talent.
