Why fintechs choose Scene
7 December 2023
Many of our fintech partners look for support from a team with financial services recruitment experience and sector expertise. The Scene team has previously worked with clients including HSBC, NatWest, RBC, Lloyds Bank, Bank of America, Barclays, JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, Bloomberg and Morgan Stanley.
Our team also has ample experience working with fintech startups and scaleups to help them achieve their ambitious growth plans — we’ve been there and done it before. This combined fintech and financial services experience and network enables us to secure exceptional talent across commercial, technology, product, data and operations for our fintech partners, including…
Finbourne | B2B SaaS fintech, Series A funded ($15m)
– 30 placements made across engineering, product and commercial
– Supported the company scaling from 50 to 200+ employees through its Series A and B funding rounds
– Scene remains Finbourne’s number one talent agency on its preferred supplier list
“Scene has consistently remained our top supplier for engineering hires, notably the client implementation team that requires technical coding abilities but also financial markets experience in order to be client facing.”
— Head of Talent, Finbourne
Silverbird | B2B fintech, seed funded ($30M)
– Scene supported Silverbird’s VP of Product in building the UK product team, making eight placements across product management, product design and business analysis
– Hired Silverbird’s Director of Product in a search process that was completed in two weeks, from role qualification to contract signed
“I’ve partnered with Scene to build product functions in my last three roles. They always take the time to truly understand our needs for each role and have delivered a consistently high calibre of candidate.”
— VP Product, Silverbird
Primer | B2B fintech, Series B funded ($50m)
– Two remote technology placements made, an iOS Developer and an Android Developer, based in the UK and Serbia. Both candidate offers were accepted within three weeks of Scene sharing the candidate’s profiles.
– Scene was up against other recruitment agencies, but is now Primer’s sole talent partner on the PSL, engaging us on hard-to-fill roles
“We’ve partnered with Scene to make some key remote hires across EMEA — the team has been instrumental in our hiring efforts. Collaborating with the Scene team has been seamless. They function as valuable partners that ask the right questions to get an in-depth knowledge of the best people for our business. We can rely on Scene to help plan our strategic hires over the next 12-months and are beyond confident that they can deliver.”

Broadway | B2B SaaS fintech, recently acquired by Bloomberg
– Five engineering placements made in London and New York
– After looking for multiple Frontend Engineers for five months, Broadway made its only external hire for that team through Scene
“Unlike the average agencies that we’ve worked with […] Scene never gave up on finding high quality candidates, no matter how high the bar. Some of our strongest dev hires have come from Scene. One of the things I value the most is the diversity of their team: female, male, BIPOC.”
— Global Head of Recruiting, Broadway Technology
TransferGo | B2C SaaS fintech, Series C funded ($50m)
– Supported the VP of Product to make three mission-critical placements, which included market mapping and targeted headhunting across competitor payments firms. All three placements were made within four weeks
