Welcome back to another episode of the Recruitment Round-Up where, this week, our hosts Toby and Nadia discuss "culture creation" and what it takes for high-performance businesses to thrive consistently. 

The "war on talent" is currently a hot topic amongst businesses. Nadia asks us to consider how we can work towards "talent preservation", a term coined by herself, to positively work in favour of candidates and their attitude towards their employers. 

Toby reflects on how over-communication is key to "the very simple art of culture". He believes it's about providing employees with true psychological safety to allow them to contribute more to decision-making while providing them with the confidence to be their best within an uplifting environment. 

And finally, the pair end with a quick-fire round of questions which includes their starrs of the week, congratulations Pete, Anthony and Reece!

We're back in the FinTech Focus TV Studio and this time Toby is joined by Kieran Stewart, Global Head of Service Delivery at ITRS Group.

Kieran has had a fascinating career that has weathered some truly turbulent times. It's not been an easy journey but it's one that has left Kieran with an extensive supply of eye-opening learns.

We're reminded throughout this episode how crucial it is you engage in work that is right for you. Kieran stresses this comes from admitting when we aren't doing something that excites us, and being unafraid to ask questions of ourselves, and learning to fail.

This is a masterclass in career brilliance- thank you Kieran for joining us on the show!

Welcome back to another episode of the FinTech Focus Podcast where this week, Toby welcomes back James Gorman, Co-Founder of BioMe. 

In this episode, the pair dive deeper into the power of building tiny habits in the journey towards achieving your bigger goals. James encourages us to redefine success through consistent, positive habits by visualising who we want to be, rather than what we want to achieve. 

Toby and James then discuss the 'tiny' changes that can be made in company offices and cultures to benefit everyone on both small and long term bases.

This episode truly has something for everyone, whether you're looking to build better habits for yourself, or looking to build stronger, more positive workplace cultures.

On this episode of The Recruitment Round-Up, Toby and Nadia bring clarity to the reasons people are leaving their roles in the FinTech space.

With the average tenure in the industry being only 13 months (!!!), firms are facing a growing issue around retaining and finding the best people. Why are technologists moving at such pace?

Recent reports have revealed that the answers range from money to career progression opportunities- so what does a comprehensive organisational response to this look like? Toby and Nadia shed light on the strategies and mindsets firms can be adopting to reverse the growing talent struggle in our space.

It's been refreshing to see so many recent industry events bring this issue to light, particularly through the lens of DE&I. Nadia reflects on her recent marketplace engagements that have seen her visit Parliament, Universities, and major industry players, speaking about what firms can do to entrench their commitment to nurturing talent.

And we close with our favourite, moments, quotes, lessons, and of course Starr's of the Week (Congratulations to Oliver Silver, Con Lam, and Nadia!).

Welcome back to another episode of the Recruitment Round-Up where Toby and Rob discuss the past week from our new office in New York City.

Both Toby and Rob agree that New York has certainly bounced back from the days of the pandemic, especially after meeting with clients and discussing exciting partnerships. They also got to finally meet Adam Mills, our new general manager in NYC, in person and celebrate the US team's growth. 

Rob and Toby continue to discuss the market's movement in favour of the people and address how businesses need to focus on hiring candidates who will raise the average.

"We’ve moved away from 'spot filling'; it’s a partnership, it’s an advisory piece. It’s about  collaborating with clients and having a dialogue about what we need to do to get them the best talent."

We are delighted to welcome Tram Anh Nguyen, Co-Founder of CFTE, to this episode of FinTech Focus TV, hosted by Toby Babb.

Following on from the release of The FinTech Job Report, Tram Anh joins us to offer exclusive insights into the current hiring demands, challenges and mindsets present across the entire financial services space.

"Technology is eating finance"- but where do people fit into this?

Finance remains a traditional space and so CFTE was born out of the need to inspire change. FinTech demands people of all backgrounds, especially given the growing talent gap. How do we find more exceptional technologists?

We need to broaden our search. Tram Anh shares the importance of embracing diverse talent pools when looking to make your next hire. A person with a non-finance background, an alternative education path, but a love for tech, should be given the tools to access a career in FinTech.

It is brilliant to learn all about the work of CFTE- the work they are doing to remove blinkers and help us all reimagine the FinTech job description.
