Building a payments team for a rapidly scaling business

The challenge

The company was growing rapidly, entering new markets and hiring across several functions at once.

Finding candidates wasn’t the main challenge. Finding people who truly understood payments, commercial operations and the demands of a fast-growing fintech business was.

Our approach

We worked with the founders to prioritise their hiring needs and built each search around the actual work to be done, rather than standard job titles.

We sourced and screened specialists across payments, business development, operations and compliance, focusing on relevant industry experience rather than CV keyword matches.

We ran several searches in parallel while keeping each shortlist focused.

The outcome

The company built its core team without having to expand its in-house recruitment function.
