I am Richard. I built Ocean Red after nearly two decades of placing engineers and specialists across trading technology, market data, and financial technology.
I've worked agency side, and I have been on the inside, as an internal recruiter at Series A FinTech through its growth from fifty to over a hundred people. I know what the work actually looks like, and I'm good at it, but everyone says that right? Try me.
Hundreds of people placed. Experience with startups, scale-ups, and global firms. I try to do this job the right way, it's more than just a bum on a seat.
Discovery-first. Every search runs the same way, so the result is not luck.
This isn't a gimmick, in my view. Great recruitment is about understanding your market and how to access it, then instilling a process you can replicate, repeat and reproduce for a predictable outcome.
Happy to run you through how I do it. Every time I have run this process, it has ended in a successful hire.
