Where this crosses over

Technology firms are competing for these people too

In semiconductor and manufacturing firms that are scaling, the hidden bottleneck is rarely engineers — it is that finance and compliance cannot keep up. Listing requirements, cross-border transfer pricing, tax and contracts for overseas sites: the people who do this come from banking and the accounting firms, not from your competitors.

Because we cover both markets, we can bring Big Four finance talent and banking compliance specialists into technology roles — and explain honestly how the work and the pay structure differ on each side.

How far our checks go

  • Verifying licences and their validity — CPA, bar admission, CIA, CFA and others
  • Item-by-item verification of education and employment history
  • Reasons for leaving and referenceable feedback from previous employers, with the candidate's consent
  • Any live non-compete or confidentiality obligations
