About the company
TP ICAP is a financial markets infrastructure and data group that brokers and connects institutional buyers and sellers across financial, energy, and commodities markets. TP ICAP operates multiple brands, including the inter-dealer broking businesses as well as Liquidnet and the Parameta Solutions data business. The company’s work spans voice, electronic, and hybrid execution, plus pricing data and analytics used by market participants. TP ICAP is listed in the UK and operates across major asset classes such as Rates, FX, Credit, Equities, and Energy & Commodities.
Locations and presence
TP ICAP states the company has around 5,300 employees across 28 countries, with hiring spread across hubs including London, New York, Singapore, Hong Kong, Belfast, and Manila. Role listings include office-based locations as well as some explicitly “offsite” roles, and flexibility appears to vary by team and location rather than being a single global policy.
Palpable Score
66.5
/ 100
TP ICAP offers real entry points through internships and trainee broker graduate programmes, plus some junior-friendly roles in operational hubs, but the early-career surface area is less visible outside broking and a few locations. TP ICAP has credible signals on development support, including a Belfast early-careers programme designed around the first five years and new broker trainee academies, yet candidate-facing process transparency is limited and outcomes data is not published in a way graduates can compare.
Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

16.1
/ 20
  • The company advertises time-bound early-career intakes such as the Global Broking Summer Internship (London) and the Energy & Commodities Trainee Broker Graduate Programme (London and Singapore) on the main TP ICAP opportunities board.
  • TP ICAP lists multiple trainee broker routes across regions (for example Global Broking and Energy & Commodities), which signals repeatable entry-level hiring rather than one-off junior roles.
  • The company also shows non-front-office entry points in service hubs, including roles explicitly welcoming fresh graduates in Manila, which broadens access beyond the broker track.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

12.4
/ 20
  • The company talks publicly about reducing bias in hiring through talent mapping and “integrated diversity monitoring,” and the company also commits to improving gender balance on shortlists for advertised roles.
  • TP ICAP has candidate-reported hiring loops that commonly include multiple stages (screening plus several interview rounds, and sometimes online tests), which suggests structured steps exist even if the company does not publish them consistently.
  • The company does not provide a single candidate guide that sets clear stage-by-stage expectations, timelines, or feedback commitments for early-career applicants, so transparency depends heavily on recruiter and team consistency.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

14.3
/ 20
  • The company describes a Belfast Early Careers Programme designed to support the first five years of an employee’s career, explicitly linking the programme to progression, promotion, and pay awards.
  • TP ICAP has stated plans to strengthen early-career development in broking via named trainee pathways, including an Energy & Commodities academy and a Global Broking broker trainee programme.
  • The company runs broader learning offers such as manager development programmes and a “Future Leaders in Global Broking” initiative, but public detail on onboarding and mentorship for interns and new grads outside broking is limited.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

12.5
/ 20
  • The company lists baseline benefits on the careers site such as private medical insurance, employee assistance programmes, wellbeing benefits, and retirement planning, which supports stability for early-career hires.
  • TP ICAP reports that the company reviewed benefits across the group to make offerings more consistent and more focused on what employees and families value, which is a practical pay-and-stability signal even without salary ranges.
  • The company rarely publishes pay ranges on the main careers surface, and TP ICAP’s own gender pay-gap narrative acknowledges structural pay differences driven by role mix, which limits how confidently early-career candidates can evaluate pay fairness before applying.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

11.2
/ 20
  • The company reports an Early Careers Programme in Belfast that is explicitly tied to progression outcomes, including promotion and pay awards across the first five years, which is a concrete internal pathway signal.
  • TP ICAP publishes early-career storytelling that includes intern-to-full-time transitions and early-role moves (for example, posts and profiles describing progression from internship into product and technology roles), which supports the existence of conversion routes even without published conversion rates.
  • The company does not publish outcome metrics such as intern-to-offer rate, trainee-to-permanent conversion, retention, or typical time-to-promotion, and external employee sentiment about advancement is mixed, which keeps outcomes uncertain for most graduates.
