Tier One People build world-class Fintech companies.
We’ve asked hundreds of founders their secret to success. They all agree it comes down to hiring tier-one people.
But hiring outstanding talent is difficult, time-consuming, expensive and risky. The fast-paced and highly regulated Fintech sector adds another layer of complexity.
At Tier One People we take away the complexity, making it simpler to find and hire outstanding Fintech talent. And we do it faster and more affordably than traditional executive search firms.
That’s why companies like Revolut, 10x, 86 400, Lendi, Cuscal, x15 Ventures, True Layer, Domain Group and many more trust us to help them launch, scale and innovate.
Matt Baxby, Country CEO, Revolut.
“I have dealt with a lot of recruiters over the years and I have found Tier One People to be super capable and quite different from others in the space.
I genuinely felt like they wanted to find the right candidate for Revolut, but also the right fit for the candidate.
In a service sector that has become more and more transactional, the value placed on trust and delivering for the long term have become diluted in importance.
However, the opposite is true for anyone looking to build a sustainable business built on great people.
I could see there was a strong value alignment between Tier One People and Revolut in this regard.”
