The Challenge

Despite months of searching, the client was unable
to find talent with expertise across both:

  • Temenos T24 core banking/transaction processing
  • Modern API engineering using Java, within cloud-native environments

Most candidates were strong in one area but not the other. After ongoing difficulty sourcing the right profile, the client approached us to run a targeted search and secure a candidate who could confidently deliver across both domains.

Our Solution

We ran a targeted search, headhunting from competitors, network outreach, and specialist fintech groups to reach candidates with the rare hybrid skill set needed.

Beyond standard screening, we assessed T24 integration expertise, API and backend architecture, cloud deployment experience, and cultural fit for fast-moving fintech environments.

This focused strategy delivered a curated shortlist within a week, identifying a standout engineer whose skills and expertise matched the client’s technical and cultural needs.

The Result

Through a targeted search and with a thorough technical screening process, we were able to solve hiring challenge for the client in just 4 weeks. The successful placement provided them with a blended skill set – enabling deeper Temenos T24 integration and strengthening their backend platform as they continue scaling their Web3 financial services.
