Hiring Sales & GRC Talent at Speed
- Company: Checkout.com
- Sector: Fintech / Payments
- Region: Global (focus on EMEA)
- Focus: Senior Sales & GRC roles
- Stage: Series D
The Challenge
Checkout.com was in a critical hiring phase. They needed to bring in exceptional sales talent to elevate commercial performance, fill urgent gaps in GRC, and meet requirements for ongoing license applications. They had urgent roles to fill - and couldn’t afford the wrong hires.
At the same time, they were looking for a recruitment partner who could operate at a high standard, move fast under pressure, and bring deep knowledge of the fintech and payments space. Previous support hadn’t delivered to that level.
Our Approach
From the outset, our team worked with speed, precision, and focus. We delivered shortlists of high-calibre candidates within days, maintained close communication, and adapted to fast-moving timelines.
We approached the partnership with a long-term mindset - but understood the need for immediate results. Drawing on our fintech and payments network, we helped shape the hiring strategy with relevant data, talent insights, and targeted outreach. Every candidate presented was carefully vetted for both skill and fit.
The Outcome
- Filled urgent Sales and GRC roles under pressure - including Head of Compliance & MLRO, Head of Risk, Head of Finance, Enterprise Risk Manager, and Sales Managers (x2)
- Hired talent from headline fintechs to strengthen core teams
- One hire became the top sales performer, hitting annual targets by June
- Delivered shortlists in days and filled critical roles fast
- Reinforced Checkout.com’s ability to meet license application needs with specialist hires
