Revolutionising the Future: The Impact of Fintech on Global Employment and Talent Acquisition

Fintech revolutionises daily life and employment, driving innovation and creating vast opportunities worldwide.


Perhaps more than any other industry, the fintech sector has and continues to transform the way we live, work and behave. Often described as the fourth industrial revolution, the advent of the internet, IT services and the expediential expansion of AI, has reshaped the world and redefined virtually every aspect of our lives. Needless to say, the relentless rise of the industry has created hundreds of thousands of new jobs and the demand for those with the skills to service this new world has reached something akin to a fever pitch. By way of examples, challenger banks including Wise and Revolut and payment gateways such as PayPal and Klarna are some of the more commonly recognised fintech companies in the UK.

The term ‘fintech’ tends to apply to a particular niche in the information technology sector, and it is estimated that over 300, 000 workers are employed by the top 225 ‘unicorns’ alone. Unicorns refers to companies with a valuation in excess of $1billion without being listed on the stock market and represent the nirvana for investors and high-flying executives alike. To put this in perspective, the total number employed by the wider tech industry is between 15 and 20million. With massive salaries and rewards available to the most skilled of workers, the fintech industry is dependent upon EOR providers to help them employ or engage the talent required to maintain their growth trajectories.

Global Talent Dynamics: Navigating Fintech’s International Workforce and Employment Challenges

As with any dynamic industry, the financial technology sector is at the forefront of contemporary workforce trends and constantly looking to hire international fintech talent irrespective of their country of origin. One only has to look at the growth of India or the Philippines as hubs of IT innovation and excellence to appreciate the transformational power of the sector. Whole economies are being recalibrated on the back of new technologies and the abilities of skilled individuals to satisfy the insatiable demand from ambitious employers.

The primary centres of the fintech industry are the America’s, Asia and Europe which underlines the global nature of the sector, and much sought-after employees think nothing of criss-crossing the globe in pursuit of lucrative contracts. This worldwide and internationalist mindset offers considerable potential for EOR companies as remote working practices and continuous travel across continents are the norm. Employers in the fintech sector need to be certain that they are hiring their staff correctly and in full accord with the tax, financial and employment jurisdictions of any given territory. With the hiring of skilled staff at a premium, clients must make sure that all their staff are compliantly employed, managed and paid correctly to avoid negative publicity and the risk of future liabilities.
