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 want to pay just 8% only when you hire for every DevOps engineer or data scientist you need.
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.

Common ones include backend engineers, frontend engineers, DevOps engineers, product managers, data scientists, compliance officers, risk analysts, data engineers and quantitative analysts. If your roles sit closer to general software teams, may fit better.
Can you handle regulated roles and compliance requirements?

Is my data secure, and what about candidates?
