Excellent service provided by Tom and Dan at Fintelligent! They ensured a smooth process with frequent and transparent communication which was a tremendous help throughout the process. I can highly recommend them whether you are looking for a job or a candidate.

We've been working with Dan for many years, having placed numerous key hires for us historically. He is fantastic, we have a brilliant relationship and get excellent service. Cannot recommend him highly enough.

I’ve worked with Fintelligent over a number of years, and our recruitment has been more ad hoc until the acquisition of Aro, where we experienced a significant increase in hiring demand for sales across the business. Fintelligent were able to quickly step up, remaining flexible and reactive in their approach, and support us through this period of growth while maintaining quality. Their ability to engage relevant candidates and manage the process efficiently meant we could scale hiring without disruption to the wider business. What stands out is their understanding of our business and how this translates into the candidates they introduce. There’s a clear focus on relevance and alignment, rather than volume, which has been key as our hiring requirements have grown, and is why we’ve continued our partnership over the years.

I just wanted to take a moment to thank Jenni Lunt for all her incredible support in helping me prepare for my recent interview. From start to finish, Jenni was so helpful, kind, and genuinely invested in my success. She offered clear guidance at every step of the process, answering my questions, providing insight, and making sure I felt confident and ready going into the interview. Her encouragement and knowledge made a huge difference and I’m so happy to share that I’ve now secured a new role! I’m truly grateful for everything she’s done, and I couldn’t have done it without her. Jenni, you’ve been amazing thank you!

During a period of significant change, we needed a recruitment partner we could trust to deliver without adding pressure, allowing me to remain focused on commercial objectives. Fintelligent quickly established themselves as that partner, operating as an extension of our internal team and working closely with leadership, sales and marketing, rather than as a traditional agency. They understood not just our immediate hiring needs, but the wider direction of the business, including our rebrand, product roadmap and growth strategy. As a result, the hires delivered were aligned to our future plans, not just current gaps. What separates them from previous recruitment partners is the operational value they bring. They enabled a successful team expansion while also helping to lay the foundations for our 2026 growth. During a period of significant change, we needed a recruitment partner we could trust to deliver without adding pressure, allowing me to remain focused on commercial objectives. There was an element of risk in partnering with a new recruitment provider for such high-priority roles, but Fintelligent quickly proved themselves, working closely with our leadership, sales and marketing teams in a way that felt far more integrated than a typical agency relationship. They took the time to understand not just our immediate hiring needs, but where the business was heading, including our rebrand, product roadmap and growth plans. As a result, the hires they delivered were aligned to our future direction, not just short-term gaps. What stood out compared to previous recruitment partners was the additional value they brought. Alongside successfully delivering key hires, they created a video asset that showcased our new brand and captured our culture and ethos, featuring both new and existing team members. While this has not yet been launched, it forms a key part of our future hiring strategy and positions us strongly for planned expansion. We were new to working with Fintelligent, but will be continuing the partnership based on the service and delivery we’ve seen. They’ve played an important role in supporting our next phase of growth.

Charlotte Walker is genuinely great to work with. She really takes the time to understand what you are looking for and communicates clearly throughout the whole process. What I appreciate most is that she doesn’t just reach out and then disappear if things don’t move forward. A lot of recruiters do that, but Charlotte always keeps me in the loop with information and explains the reasons behind decisions. Even when it comes to interviews, she calls you beforehand to give a guide on preparation, company overview & how to stand out which is super helpful It makes the whole experience feel much more transparent and supportive. Charlotte is definitely an asset to any team she’s part of.
Tina
From start to finish, Jenni was fantastic. She was clear about the job description and what I needed to prepare for, and she kept me updated throughout the process. Whenever there were any delays, Jenni was quick to follow up and provide answers. Considering I hadn’t had an interview in over seven years, Jenni reassured me and helped prepare me for what to expect. Her support gave me the confidence I needed, which ultimately led to a job offer following my interview.

Charlotte Walker has been extremely helpful, super professional and knowledgeable. She really understands her clients and supports candidates to maximise their potential. I can’t speak highly enough of her.

We engaged Fintelligent to support the build-out of our commercial mortgages team at a critical stage of growth, where securing the right individuals was key to driving new business. From the outset, their approach felt different. Before progressing with the search, they provided detailed talent pool mapping, giving us clear insight into the availability of candidates across our target companies and regions. This helped shape a more informed hiring strategy and ensured expectations were aligned from the beginning. Throughout the process, they maintained consistent reporting, not just on activity, but with meaningful data and insight. In particular, their feedback on candidate motivations and objections was something we hadn’t experienced before, and allowed us to better position ourselves in a competitive market. They operated as a genuine partner rather than a transactional supplier, taking ownership of the process and adapting to our needs. The flexibility of their retained model provided structure and commitment, while still allowing us to move at pace. Fintelligent delivered a high-quality shortlist and played an important role in building a team aligned to our growth objectives.
