The Challenge

The client required a resident Compliance Officer physically based in Mauritius — a small talent pool for a niche regulated role. We sourced a qualified professional with direct FSC regulatory experience and AML/CFT knowledge relevant to the Mauritius framework.

The Challenge

Two simultaneous Key Person appointments for a newly licensed CMA Category 5 entity in Dubai. Both candidates required CMA examination qualification, UAE residency, and the ability to pass the CMA fit and proper assessment. We ran both searches in parallel, presented shortlists simultaneously, and supported the Key Person submission process alongside the client's legal counsel.

The Challenge

The client needed multiple sales officers with specific language skills — Russian, Arabic, and English — for different client desks simultaneously. We activated our multilingual candidate network across Eastern Europe and the Middle East, delivering pre-screened candidates for each language desk within the first two weeks.

The Challenge

An LFSA licensed forex broker required a sales officer based in Labuan — a small market with limited local fintech talent. We identified a candidate with relevant FX product knowledge and the ability to work within the Labuan IBFC regulatory environment, meeting both the technical and geographic requirements.

The Challenge

A CySEC and Bank of Cyprus regulated payment institution needed a Head of Payments with direct experience in EMI / PI regulatory frameworks, scheme relationships, and payments operations management. The role required both technical payments expertise and leadership experience — a combination that narrowed the candidate pool significantly. We sourced a candidate with direct senior payments experience from a regulated institution.

The Challenge

The client required compliance personnel who were resident in Latvia and familiar with the Latvian financial regulatory environment — a market where HRFinEase had not previously placed. We expanded our search into the Baltic states, identified qualified compliance professionals with relevant local regulatory experience, and successfully completed the placement.

The Challenge

A fast-growing iGaming operator needed to build out an entire retention management layer — multiple Retention Managers with proven iGaming experience, Russian and English fluency, and the ability to manage team KPIs as well as handle escalated VIP clients. We sourced the full team, conducting language screening and retention-specific competency interviews before presenting shortlists.

The Challenge

MT4/MT5 platform administration is one of the hardest roles to fill in the forex industry. The talent pool is structurally limited to professionals who have worked inside a live brokerage environment — it cannot be learned from courses. The client had been searching independently for over two months without finding a qualified candidate. We identified and placed an experienced administrator with direct server-side experience, bridge configuration knowledge, and live incident management experience.

The Challenge

A multi-entity FX/CFD group required a CFO with experience across Cyprus, Labuan, and Mauritius regulatory structures — understanding client money segregation, cross-border intercompany accounting, and reporting for multiple regulated entities simultaneously. The search was conducted under full confidentiality — the client's identity was not disclosed until candidates had signed NDAs. We ran a targeted executive search, approaching senior finance professionals at comparable groups directly.

The Challenge

A growing CySEC regulated investment firm needed to upgrade its compliance function — replacing a junior Compliance Officer with a senior CCO-level professional capable of managing the CySEC relationship independently and building out the compliance team. CySEC Advanced and AML certification were non-negotiable. We identified a candidate with prior CCO experience at a comparable CySEC firm and supported the Key Person approval submission process.
