Exness, GBE Brokers, OneRoyal and Other Four Companies Are Hiring Now

Companies in the U.S. conducted 82,307 job cuts in January 2024, a surge of 136% compared the prior month. Tech space, in particular, is facing mounting layoffs as AI is driving towards a determined competition among tech companies at the price of scaling down the size of the staff. There have been already over 34,000 jobs being axed in the industry since the start of 2024.

Over the past couple of weeks, fintech Block unveiled plans to slash 112 jobs in March, to reduce costs. Cisco will trim over 4,000 employees. Toast is letting go 15% of its workforce, or 550 jobs. Besides, Mozilla, the maker of the Firefox web browser, is intended to lay off 5% of its global workforce, and Instacart will cut 7%.

In the banking sector, Barclays plans to cut 2 billion pounds of costs. The bank has shed 5,000 jobs in 2023, with many of these falling across back office roles. It has started another 22 branches for closure this week.  

The current employment environment remains far from ideal. Nevertheless, Fazzaco found that this week there are multiple financial firms, brokerages and fintech firms in particular, are strengthening their marketing and sales teams with new hires. Let's look at what jobs they're offering and what are the responsibilities.
