Hiring where the regulator is watching

Financial services hiring is shaped by regulation. Certain roles carry personal accountability, background checks are mandatory rather than optional, and a hiring mistake in risk or compliance can become a supervisory issue rather than just an HR one.

Sizanid recruits across banking, asset management, insurance, and fintech — covering accounting and finance operations, risk and compliance, treasury, and investment roles. Screening includes work history verification and referencing appropriate to the seniority of the position.

We place permanent staff, interim specialists for regulatory projects and year-end pressure, and senior appointments where the market is small and discretion matters.

What makes finance hiring hard

Regulation, reputation, and a small senior market shape every search in this sector.

Regulated roles carry personal liability

Certain positions require regulatory approval and personal accountability. The wrong appointment is not just a performance problem, it is a supervisory one.

Background checks take time

Employment history verification, credit and criminal checks, and regulatory references add weeks. Searches that ignore this slip at the final stage.

The senior market is small

At head-of-function level and above, most credible candidates are known to each other. Discretion in the approach is not optional.

Risk and compliance talent is scarce

Demand for AML, KYC, and regulatory reporting specialists consistently outstrips supply, and salaries move accordingly.

Services that fit finance hiring

Finance clients typically combine permanent recruitment with interim cover for regulatory projects and reporting cycles.

Finance teams we have built

Searches where regulatory experience and discretion mattered as much as the CV.

Commercial Banking Group — Atlanta, Georgia, USA

A leading commercial banking organization in Atlanta, Georgia faced a critical regulatory deadline and needed to build out its compliance and risk function within a compressed timeframe. Sizanid Staffing recruited and placed 14 compliance professionals, including a Chief Compliance Officer, Compliance Managers, AML Analysts, KYC Specialists, Risk Analysts, and Regulatory Reporting Specialists. Every candidate underwent comprehensive background screening, reference verification, and industry-specific assessment before being presented, enabling the bank to strengthen its governance framework ahead of schedule.

Questions, answered

The things hiring teams in this sector usually want to know before we start.

Do you handle regulatory background checks?

Candidates are screened against the requirements of the role before they reach your shortlist. Formal background screening and referencing run once an offer is confirmed, through Checkr, and are completed before a start date is agreed.

Formal regulatory approval and statutory vetting remain your responsibility as the employer, but we make sure candidates reaching you are unlikely to fail them.

Can you recruit discreetly for senior roles?

Yes. Senior finance appointments are usually run as confidential retained searches, where your name is not disclosed until a candidate is seriously engaged.

That matters in a market where most people at that level know each other.

Do you supply interim finance specialists?

Yes. Interim and contract cover is common for year-end, system implementations, regulatory remediation, and parental leave.

Contractors come pre-vetted, so cover can usually start within days.

Do you recruit for fintech as well as traditional banking?

Yes. Fintech hiring blends financial services expertise with technology skills, and candidates who genuinely have both are scarce.

We recruit across both sides, including technical product and engineering roles within regulated firms.
