About this webinar
With legislation on ‘fit and proper’ hiring coming under a shared scheme from EBA, ESMA, and EIOPA, HR teams hiring across the UK and EU need to do more to make sure that the checks they’re running on candidates are meeting international requirements.
Most teams haven’t caught up to the new reality.
Top hiring markets like Germany, France, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Ireland, and the UK are all interpreting and implementing new rules differently. It’s the biggest update to financial services hiring that no one’s talking about, and it has serious implications for how UK firms working across the EU in insurance, banking, investments, or crypto manage their ‘fit and proper’ compliance.
To help you sift through the nuance and get a crystal-clear picture of your responsibilities, join our Head of Compliance, David Cole, along with other special guests.
