You're a UK financial services firm of 49 to 250 staff hiring compliance, analyst or advisory roles often enough that the cost and lead time of agencies adds up.
You want to keep control of every decision, from who you shortlist to who you interview, while an AI agent handles the search and outreach.
You need permanent hires fast, like a risk manager or a mortgage adviser, and you'd rather pay just 8% on success.
You don't have an in-house talent team and want a repeatable way to fill recurring finance and back-office roles.
If you're someone looking for work in finance rather than an employer, head to our candidate page, where searching and applying is always free.
If you're filling a board-level or highly confidential leadership role and want a fully managed process, 'Blended Pro' gives you a dedicated consultant alongside the technology.
If you need contract or interim finance professionals at scale, such as project accountants during a year-end crunch, Reed Talent Solutions is built for that volume.
If your hiring leans more towards software engineers and data roles than regulated finance staff, is the better starting point.
