The monthly Advisor Insights report is a job market analysis I compile every month to help the Zocks team stay up-to-date with the hiring landscape and gain a better understanding of how advisors are leveraging technology and AI.

Methodology and data sources: This job market analysis is based on all publicly available jobs for financial advisors and planners posted on LinkedIn and Indeed during April 2024.

Let me know if this is helpful, and I'll start sharing these reports here monthly.
