Financial services talent across Africa
01
Where the talent sits
Johannesburg and Cape Town have the deepest CA(SA) and CFA talent on the continent, and are the natural hub for asset-management and insurance searches. Lagos and Nairobi have the largest pools for fintech, retail banking, and payments. Cairo and Accra add strong credit-risk and compliance talent for Middle-East-facing and West-African lenders.
02
How we vet
Every candidate is screened by a human recruiter against the criteria in your brief before they reach your shortlist. For regulated roles we verify licences and, where relevant, credit checks and prior disciplinary history.
- CV and portfolio screen against role-specific criteria
- Structured competency interview with a human recruiter
- Technical or domain assessment set by sector specialists
