The story

FinTech Growth Meets Talent Efficiency

A fast-scaling FinTech company operating across North America and Southeast Asia was battling high recruitment costs and fragmented vendor operations. With multiple partners charging inconsistent fees, lack of performance metrics, and minimal visibility into ROI, the hiring strategy was financially unsustainable.

TalentDeel stepped in with a consolidated hiring framework that introduced structured vendor governance, unified pricing models, and SLA-based engagement rules. Within a single quarter, the company saw measurable cost savings and improved hiring efficiency without sacrificing quality.
