You're a UK Fintech firm of 49 to 250 people hiring engineers, product and compliance roles regularly, and you want a shortlist today rather than in three weeks.
You've no in-house talent team and you're tired of paying 15 to 25% agency fees every time you need a DevOps engineer or a data scientist.
You're scaling a payments, lending or wealth platform and you need to keep every hiring decision in your own hands.
You want candidates matched on real skills and Reed's placement data, not a pile of keyword-stuffed CVs to sift through.
If you're looking for work rather than hiring, head to our candidate page: Reed.ai is free for candidates and built to connect you with Fintech employers.
If you want a single senior hire fully managed end to end, such as a CTO or Head of Compliance search, our Blended Pro service handles that for you.
If you need contract or interim engineers and analysts at scale, Reed Talent Solutions is built for high-volume flexible hiring.
If your roles sit closer to broader software and platform teams, may be the better match for your next hire.

Approach. They described each role once. Reed.ai searched 15 million UK candidates and returned a ranked shortlist in under 30 seconds, contacted matched people in under 1 minute and booked first interviews in under 3 minutes.
Outcome. The hiring manager reviewed ranked shortlists the same afternoon, kept every decision in-house and moved straight to interviews without chasing an agency.
Result. All four roles were filled in 14 days, at a saving of around 80% versus typical agency fees, with nothing paid until each hire was made.
