  3. Talent Mapping: At this stage, we map out key competitors, geographical locations and the wider FinTech sector, forming a long list of candidates. We uncover 60% of the market that isn't available.  
  4. Approach & Selection: From the long list, we conduct a two-stage interview process benchmarking against critical requirements, competencies requirements such as FinTech knowledge, customer service, and if they are a cultural fit for the growing business.  
  5. Shortlisting & Submission: We share our detailed list of candidates and ensure they meet the requirements.  
  6. Process Management: We manage the end-to-end interview process, ensuring timelines are met, and the business is kept updated on any other potential opportunities.
