The financial planning industry is evolving into a profession, underpinned by a range of regulatory, professional and market changes. A key component of the challenge to professionalism is to attract high calibre new entrants to financial planning degree programs and into the emerging profession. This paper details results of a survey of 191 financial planning practices on their expectations and plans for new entrants. The study finds that there is growing interest in the graduate pathways and methods of obtaining access to a talent pool. In addition, the majority of firms indicated that they would like to grow their staff numbers in the five years (to 2019) and nearly two thirds indicated that they will be seeking graduates for these growth positions. This paper will explore the demand for new entrants, particularly university graduates, into financial planning.

Having been my first time seeking a role outside of my graduate position, Ben McKenzie of Zanettis provided me with invaluable insight and advice on my chosen industry. The guidance I received helped me immensely throughout the process of finding my next role. I highly recommend anyone that is looking for a professional and useful recruitment experience to get in contact with the team. The stand out factor for Zanettis is that they put a greater emphasis on getting to know you as a candidate and team building for the companies they are assisting to ensure they match the right people to the right roles.

I have nothing but pleasant things to write about Zanetti recruitment. From my initial interaction with Ric and Ben, it felt like I wasn't getting pushed into an offer that wasn't suitable but actually was listened to in finding a suitable role. Ben took my calls throughout the interview process and after, he continued to endeavor to find the best outcome for me. They provided me the confidence in myself to find the best outcome to further my career and continue to grow. I would recommend them to anyone for their services. Great work.

Ric at ZRC is a first-class professional who I'm grateful to have met. Ric listened to the roles I was interested in and the direction I wanted to take my career. He used his intimate knowledge of the local market to connect with prospective employers (who weren't even advertising), and lined up interviews for me. I found Ric to be very responsive and considerate in all our engagements. I couldn't recommend him enough to anyone working in financial services, in Brisbane.

I've known Ric for around 6 years and have worked with Ben more recently from the candidate side, with both providing an authentic, personable service. What sets Zanetti Recruitment apart is the extent they go to to familiarise themselves intimately with their clients and candidates alike. They are honest in terms of their alignment of prospective candidates to roles, and their perspective and depth of financial planning industry knowledge is second to none. If you are looking for your next financial planning role or recruit and want the best possible fit, I would not hesitate to recommend Ric and Ben as your first port of call.

My recent experience with Zanetti Recruitment was nothing but positive. After my first meeting with Ric, it was clear he is not your average recruitment agent. Ric is extremely knowledgeable of the Financial Planning industry and it was evident he has a comprehensive understanding of existing employment opportunities available, as well as upcoming opportunities that were yet to be advertised. Ric took the time to gain an in-depth understanding of the key attributes and values I was looking for within my next employer, before providing multiple opportunities which he felt aligned with my personal requirements. I would highly recommend Ric, and Zanetti Recruitment, to anyone looking for their next financial planning role, or any businesses looking to fill a position.

I have had a great experience with Zanetti recruitment. Their understanding of the industry and relationship with employers are a great advantage. Ric and Ben took the time to understand my skillset and aspirations to tailor jobs to suit my needs, and it felt like I wasn't another person to fill a seat. Always professional and easy to deal with, 100% recommend. Thanks Zanetti!
