FNB posted 31% fewer tech roles this quarter

FNB's engineering hiring contracted sharply in Q1 2026 while fintech competitors absorbed the overflow.

FNB posted 31% fewer tech roles this quarter

FNB listed 847 tech roles across LinkedIn and PNet in Q1 2026 — down from 1,101 in Q4 2025. That's a 31% contraction in a single quarter, and it's not a pipeline delay.

Cross-referencing with TymeBank (+44%) and Yoco (+31%) over the same window tells the real story. The talent is moving — it's just not moving toward Johannesburg CBD anymore.

42 FNB roles have been open for 60+ days with no update. That's not a talent shortage. That's a budget freeze with a careers page still running.
