Avoiding scandal another factor in planned extra hires

Insurers are spending more cash on hiring compliance staff to deal with incoming Solvency II laws, according to recruitment firm BrightPool.

Brightpool said avoiding compliance scandals was another reason firms gave for the extra hires, according to City AM.

The recruitment firm said compliance is set to be the most popular section of financial services recruitment this year.
