Restructuring Talent Shortage: A Guide for Banks and Lenders

As economic pressures increase, so does the demand for skilled restructuring professionals. At Chamberlain, we see this firsthand with multiple open roles from banks and lenders seeking top talent. As more SMEs face financial difficulties, these institutions depend on expert recruiters like us to find professionals who can maximise recovery efforts and stabilise companies during uncertain times.

Finding Restructuring Experts in Today’s Market

The demand for restructuring professionals is growing, yet many experts who emerged after the 2008 financial crisis have since retired or shifted roles. This has left banks and lenders struggling to find the talent to support distressed businesses.

To address this shortage, companies need to adopt creative hiring strategies. One effective approach is targeting professionals with prior restructuring experience who have transitioned into roles such as credit management or frontline banking. These individuals possess transferable skills that are well-suited to today’s restructuring challenges.

“We’ve seen this cycle before,” says Chris Notley, MD at Chamberlain. “Although the talent pool is smaller, we know where to find the right people. Businesses must remain adaptable to build their teams effectively.”

As economic challenges persist, the demand for restructuring experts continues to rise. Chamberlain is actively recruiting for several restructuring roles and is moving swiftly to connect with top professionals in this competitive marketplace.
