The London market

Where London Recruiters Cut the Pile

The City and Canary Wharf hire for banking, asset management and insurance. Consultancies and large law firms recruit across the capital, while tech employers cluster around areas such as King's Cross and Shoreditch. Each has its own shorthand.

Because so many applicants share similar employers and degrees, a CV that lists duties blurs into the pile. Quantified outcomes, clear scope and a tight two pages are what separate shortlisted CVs.
