The segment we work in
Asset managers, wealth platforms, insurance firms, and broader regulated financial services entities scaling their people function within a compliance-led environment. Hiring profiles, compensation benchmarks, and governance expectations in this segment are specific to the sector and shape every conversation, from role brief through to offer construction.
Which roles do you recruit for in asset and wealth management?
Our mandates in this segment cluster around investment risk and portfolio analytics, distribution platform product management, advisor productivity and Salesforce Financial Services Cloud engineering, regulatory reporting and surveillance technology, SEBI-aware compliance and audit leadership, and senior product and engineering roles inside AMC and wealth-platform technology functions. The common thread is the combination of domain depth and regulatory awareness: candidates without both rarely succeed in this segment regardless of headline credentials.
How we engage in this segment
We work with firms in this segment on specialist search, and, for sizeable engagements, fractional HR and custom compensation benchmarking. Engagements typically start with a single senior mandate; the compensation data we publish often informs a broader band review, and for firms scaling their people function we occasionally take on fractional HR alongside the hiring. Our hiring playbook for this segment is calibrated to the regulatory environment, the comp norms specific to AMC and insurance structures, and the candidate pools that move within the cluster.
Financial services recruitment: common questions
What does a financial services recruitment agency do?
A financial services recruitment agency sources and places people for regulated financial firms: asset and wealth managers, insurers, banks, NBFCs and the fintechs and capability centres around them. It differs from general recruitment because institution type and regulatory context change who is right for a role, so the assessment is about fit for your business, not a match on job title.
How do I choose a financial services recruitment agency in India?
Ask four things before the fee: whether they can describe your regulatory context without being briefed on it, whether the shortlist assessment is written and specific rather than a covering note, how they handle candidate personal data (under the DPDP Act 2023 it is your exposure too), and what happens commercially when a placement does not work out. A longer buyer checklist is in choosing a people advisory partner, and the specialist versus generalist comparison covers why sector focus matters.
Do you recruit across all of financial services, or only asset and wealth management?
Across all of it. This page leads with asset and wealth management because much of our published pay data sits there, but the practice spans banks and NBFCs, insurers, fintech and payments, and financial services GCCs. If you are hiring for banks, NBFCs and insurers specifically, the BFSI recruitment agency page is the better starting point; for payments, lending and wealth-tech firms, see fintech and payments recruitment.
