Recruitment

Hiring for regulated FinTech, Crypto, and Tech businesses — where fit means more than skills

In regulated markets, "fit" isn't just cultural — it's legal. An MLRO must pass fit-and-proper assessments.
A Compliance Officer needs regime-specific experience, not generic credentials.
A CRO across EU entities must understand each regulatory perimeter.

Most recruitment agencies don't understand this. We do. Regulatory fit is our baseline, not an afterthought.

What's included: 

✔ Full-cycle recruitment from job brief through screening, interviews, offer, and onboarding

✔ Access to passive candidate networks — not just active job-seekers on LinkedIn

✔ Role-specific expertise: Blockchain Engineers, Smart Contract Developers, Compliance & AML leads, Risk Managers, FinTech Product and Growth roles, C-suite and Board-level search

✔ Recruitment funnel audits to diagnose where you're losing good candidates and cut time-to-hire

✔ Cross-border hiring guidance across EU and UK jurisdictions

Impact : Our clients reduce time-to-hire for specialist regulated roles by 30–40%, and avoid the costly compliance risk of hiring someone whose background doesn't withstand regulatory scrutiny.

Engagements are flexible — project-based, retained, or on-demand.
