These are the companies hiring ex-senior Barclays investment bankers

If you’re one of the supposed near 30% of Barclays’ investment bankers hitting the job market now, it’s a tough time. Some banks are refusing to pay recruiters’ fees on Barclays bankers put forward – so plentiful is their supply – and the bank’s focus on cutting at the top comes at a time when investment banking recruiters are complaining about a ‘lack of liquidity’ at the senior end. In other words, no one is moving and there are few new opportunities.

The chances are that if you’re in an advisory position and want to stay at Barclays, you could be OK. Tom King, chief executive of Barclays’ investment bank, revealed only yesterday that the bank has hired 19 senior corporate finance professionals since May.

Sales and trading professionals are not as lucky. And yet, in recent weeks increasing numbers of Barclays bankers have found new employment, across a range of different City institutions and beyond. These are the significant moves:
