According to an annual salary survey by recruitment specialists Robert Walters, increased regulation of the insurance market has boosted the selection of finance jobs available in the industry .

The company said the key findings of its global survey were:

·In future there will be a shift from a company-driven to a candidate-driven market

·Remuneration packages have become increasingly important to secure a diminishing pool of high calibre recruits

·Top candidates are receiving multiple offers for the first time in 18 months

·The shift to IAS and regulatory changes such as Sarbanes-Oxley has boosted finance, accounting and legal recruitment

·In 2004 increased recruitment took place across the board with the large plc businesses dominating the market

·Hourly rates have increased for temporary staff and newly qualified accountants in insurance are seeing higher salaries
