Even small pauses or unclear next steps can make top talent look elsewhere.” In our latest article, Morgan dives into: - How to stay motivated and confident in multi-stage fintech interviews - What makes crypto, AI, and real-time payments roles uniquely challenging - Why mentorship, clarity, and early wins are critical for junior engineers - How to prepare and connect technical skills to overall impact 💡Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/egM3RJ37 #FintechCareers #USTechJobs #JuniorEngineers #CryptoJobs #AIJobs #Payments #FintechHiring #EC1Partners

We love celebrating the achievements and outstanding performance across our teams, and last week was no exception. We hosted our quarterly directors' lunch for our London-based top performers, kicking off the evening at Bacchanalia and continuing with drinks alongside the wider team in Soho. A special mention to Jake, Richard, Becca, Ozge, Sam, and Hayley for an exceptional quarter. Their success reflects our values: being reliable, delivering results, staying transparent, and adapting to every challenge. We look forward to celebrating more achievements as we approach the end of the year and seeing our global achievers continue to shine. #TeamSuccess #Celebration #EC1Partners #TopPerformers #Achievement

The common theme across the APAC employment market? High headcount isn’t the goal – impact is. Strategic product and pre-sales hires are driving adoption, revenue, and client success. Leon Bosco, EC1 Partners’ APAC Product & Pre-Sales specialist, explains: “Firms are hiring selectively, prioritising candidates who bridge product, technical, and commercial domains. One high-impact hire can deliver more than several less-focused ones.” In our latest article, Leon explores: - The most in-demand product & pre-sales roles across APAC - Why firms are prioritising measurable business impact over volume hires - How cross-functional, high-impact hires accelerate adoption and client success - Skills that make you stand out in the current market 💡Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/eEVJvmQu #FintechCareers #APACFintech #ProductManagement #PreSales #FintechHiring #EC1Partners

AI is everywhere - but in recruitment, it’s only part of the story. At EC1 Partners, we see it as a tool to enhance human expertise, not replace it. “Technology makes us faster, but people make us different.” By combining AI insights with deep industry knowledge and personal relationships, we help clients make faster, lower-risk hires - without losing the judgment, trust, and cultural understanding that technology can’t replicate. From smarter shortlists to predictive market insights, AI supports our consultants - but it’s our conversations, advice, and engagement that deliver the right fit for clients and candidates. 💡Read more: https://lnkd.in/e4AySd_j #FintechRecruitment #TalentAcquisition #AIinRecruitment #EC1Partners

Great insights from our EC1 Executive division on how fintech and financial services boards can strengthen alignment, culture, and leadership effectiveness. 💡 A must-read for leaders shaping the future of fintech. #Fintech #BoardEffectiveness #Leadership #EC1Executive #EC1Partners
Board dysfunction isn’t always obvious - but its impact can be. In our latest thought leadership piece, EC1 Executive speaks with Lucy Nottingham, Senior Director of Governance Content at the NACD (National Association of Corporate Directors), to explore how boards in financial services and fintech can address misalignment, strengthen culture, and enhance strategic impact. Lucy shares insight on: • The rising issue of board dysfunction • Culture vs. structure - and why both matter • Board-CEO dynamics and leadership succession • The critical role of the Chair • Practical steps for improving effectiveness “Failing to establish an effective boardroom culture is akin to opening Pandora’s box. Tone at the top is critical.” - Lucy Nottingham Read the full piece here 👉 https://lnkd.in/gvVnW5F8 #ThoughtLeadership #CorporateGovernance #BoardEffectiveness #Fintech #FinancialServices #Leadership #EC1Executive
