Executive search for banks and fintech.

Retained technology leadership search and onshore staffing for banks, fintech companies, asset managers and insurers, with every candidate identity-verified before you see the file.

RegulatedEvery candidate verified
before submission
Syfter is a United States technology executive search and exclusively onshore staffing firm that places verified technology leadership at banks, fintech companies, asset managers and insurers. Every candidate, from a Chief Information Officer to a contract engineer, completes the Syfter Certified five-point verification protocol before submission: a live video interview with a US-based recruiter, confirmed physical location, identity cross-referenced across LinkedIn, resume and interview in real time, and a signed Trust Guarantee delivered with a timestamped Certificate of Completion. Syfter is exclusively onshore, so every candidate is US-based and every recruiter is US-based.
Why verification matters here

In regulated finance, an unverified hire is a compliance event.

The stakes

A fabricated identity inside a regulated environment is not a hiring mistake, it is an audit finding. Syfter confirms the person is real and is physically where they claim before the first client interview, not after the offer.

Where it breaks

Location fraud creates tax nexus and employment compliance exposure. Geo-Location Verification removes it, and the confirmation is on file in writing.

What it costs you

Vendor diligence teams ask for evidence. Every Syfter submission arrives with a signed Trust Guarantee and a timestamped Certificate of Completion that can be handed to audit as-is.

Syfter Certified

Five points. Every candidate. No exceptions.

Run live by a US-based recruiter before the file reaches you. Every submission carries the stamp, the signed Trust Guarantee and a timestamped Certificate of Completion.

The protocol
  1. 01

    Human Verified Presence

    A live video conversation with a US-based Syfter recruiter. No recorded responses, no proxies. A real person, confirmed before the file reaches you.

  2. 02

    Geo-Location Verification

    The candidate is physically where they say they are. Location fraud creates tax and employment compliance risk for the hiring company. This point removes it.

  3. 03

    AI Interview Prevention

    Camera on, no virtual backgrounds. The recruiter sees the actual environment and a person speaking for themselves. No coaching tools, no interview bots, no scripted playback.

  4. 04

    Multi-Channel Identity Validation

    LinkedIn, resume, and everything said in the interview, cross-referenced in real time. The primary defense against fabricated profiles and bait-and-switch submissions.

  5. 05

    Syfter Trust Guarantee

    Every candidate signs the Trust Guarantee before submission. Every submission carries a timestamped Certificate of Completion and the Syfter Certified stamp.
