search.
It takes Tier One People to build world-class Fintech.
We’ve asked hundreds of founders their secret to success. They all agree it comes down to hiring tier-one people.
Hiring outstanding talent can be difficult, time consuming, expensive and risky. The fast-paced and highly regulated space of Fintech adds another layer of complexity.
Tier One People takes away the complexity, offering a simpler way for you to hire the right leadership talent, faster and more affordably than traditional executive search.
That’s why companies like Revolut, 10x, Lendi, Trade Ledger, x15 Ventures 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.”
Exceptional hiring results.
If hiring tier-one people was simple we wouldn’t have a business.
Hiring remains one of the most complex, time-consuming and costly parts of scaling a business.
The risks associated with hiring are amplified in the fast-moving, skills short, highly regulated world of Fintech.
Make the wrong hire and the consequences on your business could be catastrophic.
You need recruitment partners who are experts in their domain.
At Tier One People our consultants will guide, support, educate, provide market insights and deliver the right result.
Work with executive search partners who understand your challenges and offer an unrivaled track record of hiring world-class talent.
