Executive Search for the AI-Era of Fintech & Payments
We help VC-backed fintechs, SaaS scale-ups, and challenger banks across the US hire AI-ready executives and build global leadership teams that scale

Who
we are
We’re not just recruiters. We’re ex-fintech and payments operators who’ve built teams through core banking rebuilds, API revolutions, and the rise of AI in financial service
We’ve sat in the founder chair — and built the teams ourselves.
That’s why we started Fintech HI.RE USA:
To help fintech and SaaS scaleups hire better, faster, and with zero fluff — especially when AI, embedded payments, and regulation are moving faster than job specs can keep up
