FinTech Recruitment

Our Approach to FinTech Recruitment

At Keller, we consider our services a success when a placement we make allows our client’s company to experience tangible growth. To accomplish this, we focus on understanding each client’s unique needs, then tailor our recruitment services to match.

Our headhunters value continued learning, and we aim to stay abreast of the FinTech industry’s latest developments, findings, market trends, and technological advancements. In doing so, we ensure that we are able to select candidates who can traverse the challenges of the industry with confidence and overcome them.

We also have an unwavering commitment to diversity and inclusion, meaning we consider all candidates for employment regardless of their age, gender, ethnicity, or personal belief systems. Instead, we choose candidates based on their suitability for our client’s vacancy.

Our commitment to excellence has helped our agency foster and maintain long-term partnerships with our clientele. It has also helped us build an enduring reputation for our high-quality services and reliable results.

Behind Our Recruitment Process

Over the years, Keller’s experts have amassed decades of collective first-hand experience finding top FinTech talent for our clientele. These experiences have taught us many crucial lessons, and have helped us develop our tailored methodology.

When Keller was first established, we utilized a one-size-fits-all hiring process that neglected the unique differences between companies. While we succeeded at placing generic roles with this method, it fell short when we needed to recruit senior executives.

We discovered these limitations the hard way during a high-stakes project for an important client who had tasked us with hiring a new leader for an executive role. Instead of tailoring our approach for this assignment, we stuck to our usual generic approach and expected good results.

The candidates we presented at the end of the search did not align with the company’s culture and would not be able to integrate with the rest of our client’s team, despite being competent in every other aspect. This mismatch meant that we were unable to secure a successful placement.

Although our consultants were disappointed by this outcome and found the experience challenging, it taught us the value in tailoring our solutions to meet each client’s needs. The experience also motivated us to remodel our approach into the client-focused strategy we still use today. This change did wonders for our rates of successful placements and resulted in higher retention rates, improved team dynamics, and stronger performance outcomes for our clients.

It also earned Keller a stellar reputation and helped our name become synonymous with effective FinTech executive search solutions.

Since then, Keller’s success has made a significant impact on the FinTech sector by inspiring other agencies to adopt tailored methods as well. We have also contributed to a better global understanding of FinTech recruitment and executive search.

Roles We Fill in the FinTech Industry

As a leading FinTech recruitment agency, Keller approaches recruitment as a strategic partnership rather than a transaction. Our executive recruiters combine deep industry knowledge with an extensive network of connections, allowing us to introduce only the best candidates to our clients.

Because every growth stage of a business demands different expertise, we do not restrict our searches to a predetermined list of job titles. One position may call for a Chief Executive Officer (CEO) who can refine go-to-market strategy, while another role may require a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) to fortify data defenses as the company scales. If a role influences growth, resilience, or innovation, we can find the right FinTech candidates for it.

Our experts can provide exceptional talent in sales and business development who can boost revenue in fast-moving capital markets. We also find top performers in the FinTech sector for roles like Senior UI/Full Stack Engineer, Java/React Full Stack Trading Systems Developer, C++ Software Engineer, ML Research Engineer, Chief Technology Officer, and more.
