Fintech Recruitment Agency | Specialist Fintech Recruiters

Fintech hiring is constrained by a small pool of people who can operate inside regulatory reality. The engineering is rarely the hard part — building a product that satisfies a regulator, a banking partner and a risk committee at the same time is.

We recruit across digital banks, lending platforms, remittance and cross-border businesses, treasury and wealthtech, regtech, and the financial infrastructure companies that sell into all of them.

What we understand about this market

Published so you can assess our domain knowledge before the first call, rather than after it.

Licensing and regulatory perimeter: EMI, PI, banking licence, DIFC and ADGM regimes, MAS licensing
Safeguarding, client money and the operational controls regulators expect behind them
Banking partnerships, sponsor banks and what breaks when a partner exits
Lending mechanics: underwriting, credit risk, collections, portfolio economics
Remittance corridors, FX handling, treasury and liquidity management
Unit economics that decide fintech hiring priorities — CAC, contribution margin, cost of funds
The difference between building for a regulated entity and building for a technology vendor

What we screen for

The signals that separate candidates who have done the job from candidates who can describe it.

Have they shipped inside a regulatory perimeter?

We separate candidates who have built regulated products from those who have built adjacent tooling. Both are valuable; only one shortens your licensing timeline.

Stage fit, honestly assessed

A strong operator from a 2,000-person bank often struggles at 30 people, and the reverse is equally true. We screen for the operating environment, not just the logo.

Commercial literacy

Senior fintech hires should be able to explain how their product made or lost money. We ask, and the answers vary far more than CVs suggest.

Where these hires go wrong

Hiring big-bank pedigree into an early-stage team without testing for tolerance of ambiguity and hands-on delivery.
Leaving compliance hiring until the licence application is already in flight.
Assuming a strong product manager from unregulated SaaS will transfer directly into a regulated product.

Frequently asked

What kinds of fintech companies do you work with?

Neobanks and digital banks, lending platforms, remittance and cross-border businesses, treasury and wealthtech, regtech, and financial infrastructure providers. Typical clients are venture-backed startups and scaleups between roughly 20 and 2,000 people, though we also work with established financial institutions.

Do you recruit for regulated roles?

Yes. Regulated and controlled-function hires — including MLRO and compliance leadership — are a core part of our work. See our risk and compliance expertise for detail on how we screen them.

Hiring a role that generalist recruiters keep getting wrong?

Send us the brief. We will tell you honestly whether we are the right people for it, what the market looks like, and what it will take to hire.
