About us

Payments recruitment was broken. So we fixed it.

We're a specialist payments recruiter, set up by Nathan Davies in 2018 to do recruitment properly. No thirty-CV dumps, no roles we don't understand, and no candidates we've never spoken to.

Our story.

The short version, in Nathan's words.

  1. 2014

    Where it started

    I started my career in recruitment placing tech hires across the UK, from software engineering to DevOps, data and architecture. Any industry, as long as it was tech.

  2. 2016

    My first taste of payments

    I got hooked on payments. The innovation was rapid, investment was flowing and teams needed to scale. It was my first taste of payments, and I never looked back.

  3. 2018

    Launching Sourcific Talent

    Launching a business was scary. I was the first in my family to do it, I was getting married the following year, and then we had a child. It was full on. But I had clients I could only help so far, and that didn't sit right with me. I knew I could do more than tech hires, so I launched the business to give my clients a more rounded service.

  4. 2020

    Startups and scale-ups

    This is where it got exciting again. We're on the front line of innovation in payments, working with fast-paced, sometimes chaotic startups, learning every day about where payments is heading and talking to the incredible people building it. Can you tell we're passionate about this?

  5. 2022

    Into Europe

    With remote working more accepted, we took the chance to work right across Europe, and it's gone really well. We now have clients in Malta, Germany, France, the Netherlands and Lithuania.

  6. 2025

    Hello, AI

    I'd always had ideas for our own client portal, one that works exactly how we work and, more importantly, how my clients work. The only thing stopping me was that I don't code. AI changed all that, and we launched our brand new, all singing, all dancing client portal.

  7. 2026

    A name that fits what we do

    We rebranded, and we now trade as FinPay Talent. It does exactly what it says on the tin.

  8. Today

    Still a one-man band

    When I look back, I wonder how I've done all this as a one-man band. It's simple. I love what I do, we respect our candidates and clients, we build real relationships, and the people we place make a real difference. 160+ placements and still going.

“I launched this business because I saw what good looked like and I knew I could deliver it.”

Six things we fixed.

Everything we do comes from the bits of recruitment we couldn't stand.

  1. The usual way: Generalists who'll recruit for anyone

    Our way: Payments only. It's all we do.

  2. The usual way: Thirty rushed CVs and no context

    Our way: 3 to 5 people, every one spoken to properly

  3. The usual way: Your search talked about everywhere

    Our way: Discreet by default, on both sides

  4. The usual way: Telling you what you want to hear

    Our way: Straight talk, even when it stings

  5. The usual way: Shortlists that take weeks

    Our way: Shortlists in days, not weeks

  6. The usual way: Place them, bank the fee, move on

    Our way: In it for the long game, retention over commission

See the difference for yourself.
