What fintech employers are hiring for

RoleDemand tracks the fintech employers you name and reads their open roles from their own career pages every day. The seeded pack covers digital banks and banking-as-a-service providers, payments and money-transfer platforms, wealth and investing apps, lending and credit firms, insurtechs, and regulatory-technology vendors across the UK and Europe.

The fintech pack also carries a comparison lens that splits the market in two: Watchlist against Rest of market. That is the comparison an agency in this market is usually asked for, and it is a pack setting rather than a product feature, so yours can split the market however your desk actually thinks about it.

All of them, then grouped by function and seniority so a desk can read the market at a glance. In fintech that usually means payments engineering, risk and financial crime, compliance, and revenue roles that follow a funding round.

Classification runs on every posting: function, seniority and the skills named in the description. A consultant filtering for one role family sees the same market the pack sees, grouped their way.

A funding round. The headcount it bought appears on the careers page before anyone writes a press release about it, and in fintech it usually appears as risk, compliance and payments engineering together rather than one at a time.

None of that is a prediction. It is a description of the order employers advertise in, and the reason a daily read of a whole market is worth more than a monthly read of a few employers: the roles that tell you something arrive before the announcement does, and they are only visible while they are open.

The 25 employers in the seeded fintech pack publish their vacancies through 6 different applicant tracking platforms. 10 on Greenhouse, 5 on Ashby, 4 on Workable, and the remaining 6 spread across 3 more. Reading that market by hand means opening 25 careers pages that behave 6 different ways, every day, before anyone has made a call.

RoleDemand reads 34 of these platforms, which is what makes a daily pass over a whole market practical rather than theoretical. The full list and the stages of a run are on the how it works page.

The seeded fintech pack carries 25 employers, every one of them a real business whose public applicant tracking endpoint was checked by hand. How many a client's own pack holds is set by the plan: Core tracks up to 50, Plus up to 100.

Employers are added to a pack only after their careers endpoint has been fetched and the response read. An endpoint that could not be confirmed is left out rather than recorded optimistically, because a registry full of dead links costs more to trust than it saves to build.

It refreshes every day. A run collects each employer's open roles, works out what opened and what closed since the previous cycle, and rebuilds the dashboard, so the figures a consultant quotes are from the last 24 hours rather than the last quarter.

The public sample dashboard is a build of the renewable energy pack rather than this one, but the interface, the modules and the insight pack are the same in every market. Only the employers and the role groupings change.

RoleDemand Core costs £169 a month and tracks up to 50 fintech employers. RoleDemand Plus costs £299 a month and tracks up to 100. Both are priced per agency rather than per seat. Setting the fintech market up is included in that, so there is no setup fee, and an agency that finds the first insight pack unhelpful can cancel inside 30 days.

Core at £169 a month tracks up to 50 employers, and covers setting the pack up, the daily refresh, the dashboard and the insight pack. Plus at £299 doubles that to 100 employers and takes changes to the list and the role groupings on request. The cancellation window and the rate lock are on the pricing page.
