JPMorgan and Citi have topped a chart for the banks with the most vacancies in England and Wales amid a rush to recruit financial services staff following the lifting of the UK’s coronavirus lockdowns.

Vacancies within the financial services sector during April were at their highest levels since before the pandemic, recording an increase of over 275% compared with the same month last year, according to a report from the Association of Professional Staffing Companies (APSCo).
