What you get from us.

Specialist knowledge, honest advice and a way into roles you won't find on a job board.

Jobs you won't see advertised.

We work out the hires our clients will need next, often before there's a job spec. If your experience fits, we'll tell you who it's for and ask before your profile goes anywhere.

It's anonymised, and you tell us who to avoid.

NathanA payments scale-up is building out its risk team, and your background fits. Happy for me to share your profile, anonymised?

Go for it. Just not my current employer or any of its partners.

NathanDone. It only goes where you've said yes.

An example of how we check with you first.

We know the market.

Payments is all we do. We know the companies, who runs them and what they pay, so you'll know if a role's worth your time before you go for it.

Straight talk, always.

If a role's not right for you, we'll say so. Same if your CV needs work or your number's off. No sugar-coating, and no spray and pray.

One person, start to finish.

No call centre, and no being passed around. You deal with Nathan, from the first chat to the check-ins after you start.

With you at every step.

Seven things you get on every move, from the first chat to well after you start.

  1. First chat

    Your CV, sharpened

    Honest feedback on the layout, the content and how you come across, so your CV gets you the interviews you actually want.

  2. First chat

    Where you're heading

    Salary benchmarks, progression routes and what to learn next, so the move you make now sets up the one after it.

  3. Before every interview

    Interview prep

    Who you're meeting, where the company's at and what they'll push on. Prep for every round, not just the first.

  4. After every interview

    Honest feedback

    Whether you go through or not, you'll get full, honest feedback from every stage. You'll walk away sharper than you walked in.

  5. Offer stage

    The offer

    Real market data, straight advice and someone pushing for an offer that reflects what you're worth, without pricing you out of a job you want.

  6. Notice period

    Handing in your notice

    Leaving's the hardest part. We'll help you plan the conversation and think through any counter-offer, so you're clear on why you're moving.

  7. Week one to the end of probation

    After you start

    Most agencies vanish once the invoice clears. We check in at week one, month one and after probation, and we're still here for the move after that.

Questions candidates ask.

Can't see yours? Book a confidential call and ask Nathan.

Do I have to pay anything?

No, never. The company that hires you pays our fee, so everything we do for you is free, from the first chat to the check-ins after you start.

Will you send my CV anywhere without asking?

No. We'll always tell you who it's going to and wait for your OK first. If we think you'd suit a company that isn't advertising, we'll ask before sharing an anonymised profile, and you tell us who to avoid.

Will my current employer find out?

Not from us. Everything's confidential, and your details never go to your current employer or anyone else you've asked us to avoid.

I'm not actively looking. Is it worth a chat?

Yes. A lot of good moves start that way. A quick chat gets you a read on the market and what you're worth, with no pressure to do anything with it.

What roles do you recruit for?

Every function in payments and the finance software behind it: sales, partnerships, account management, product, engineering, data, risk, compliance, operations and finance. From hands-on roles to the C-suite, across the UK, Europe and the US.

How long do you keep my details?

Three years. You can ask us to delete them sooner at any time.

Thinking about a move? Let's talk.

A confidential chat about the market, what you're worth and what's out there. No spam, and no pressure.
