                                 About Global FinTech Talent

​​

At Global FinTech Talent, we specialize in placing senior commercial, technical, and strategic leaders at fast-scaling FinTech companies across Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa. Based in Amsterdam, Netherlands, we work exclusively with FinTech clients - from payments firms and embedded finance platforms to crypto and blockchain ventures, neobanks, digital banks, and B2B SaaS businesses. Whether you are hiring a CTO, scaling a compliance function, building a commercial team, or entering a new market corridor, we find the right people to make it happen.

​​

FinTech is all we do

​

We are not a generalist agency. Global FinTech Talent works exclusively with FinTech clients, giving us a depth of network, market knowledge, and candidate relationships that generalist recruiters cannot match. Our specialist focus spans payments and embedded finance, crypto and blockchain, neobanks and digital banking, regtech and compliance, wealthtech, and B2B SaaS and FinTech infrastructure. We understand the commercial, regulatory, and operational challenges FinTech companies face, and we find the people who have solved them before.

How we are different

 

Strategic hiring. We go beyond matching CVs to job descriptions. Where relevant, we ask shortlisted candidates to submit go-to-market plans, growth strategies, and corridor roadmaps so you can assess commercial thinking before the first interview.

Revenue-driven placements. We benchmark every senior commercial hire against a clear metric - they must be capable of generating at least five times their compensation in revenue within twelve months.

Corridor-native talent. Our global network is built around senior FinTech professionals who bring local market knowledge, regulatory understanding, and established partner relationships in the corridors that matter to your business.

Trusted by founders, investors, and commercial leaders. We have helped Series A to C scaleups, corporate FinTech arms, and global expansion teams hire with confidence across multiple markets and functions.
