SPECIALIST STAFFING

Caspian One consultants are niche technology specialists, capable of meeting the complex hiring needs of our clients - accurately and intelligently.

Our people are known for their ability to grasp subtle hiring demands and source permanent and contract professionals with just the right skills, experience, and character. It’s this capability acquisition methodology that has cemented us a reputation for success at many leading global financial institutions, investment banks, startups and tech businesses.

We believe that a candidates relationship with a consultant should enrich their whole career, not just their immediate future. Candidates are people - not just a list of skills, degrees or experiences; a fact that our consultants both acknowledge and respect.

For contractors, our services extend well beyond securing a new role. We own and manage the aftercare of our contractors, while also taking care of invoicing, payment queries, extensions, career support and the lining up of their next assignment.

Changing jobs is exciting, but it can also be uncertain and emotional at times, with wide-reaching impact both personally and professionally. We support candidates and stay with them for years, helping them achieve their long-term career aspirations.

 
 

ADVICE & COUNSEL SERVICE

Canada has become a beacon for FinTech, innovation and technological change. Toronto, Montreal - these locations are evermore desirable as places to build R&D centres, incubators and tech hubs; offering businesses a variety of financial benefits and savings, plus access to a passionate development community. Not forgetting the many cutting edge Canadian advancements being made in fields such as ML, AI, IoT, Cybersecurity, Blockchain and Open Banking.

“This is the fertile ground in which entrepreneurship, business development and progress take root and grow, and societies thrive. Where international IT professionals would not have considered Canada as an option before, they’re now seeing the country and its opportunities in a new light. In the same way, international tech companies and investors now consider Canada as the best environment in which to do business, expand or relocate. And the numbers support this.“ - Source

In Canada, we are centrally located within an established network of tech pioneers, reputable partners, credible freelancers, clients and IT professionals.

For over a decade we have been an integral part of tech communities across Toronto and Montreal. It’s this access and knowledge-base that now empowers us to provide insight-led advice, guidance and counsel. As example, we were involved in Morgan Stanleys creation of the Montreal Technology Centre, and supported RBC when they were expanding their HQ in Toronto (read more).

We help companies with no footprint in Canada, build teams and obtain the skills they urgently require. We can provide market access for US and international companies considering relocation, or wishing to create new hubs and dev centres. We have the capabilities to guide clients through demanding risk and regulatory changes - such as MiFID, FRTB and CIDC.

This is a tailored service, designed around your needs and backed up by our successes, reputation and history in North America.

FUTURE TALENT SERVICE


In Finance, we’re witnessing experienced and skilled members of Canada’s tech community transitioning away from traditional banking projects.

These candidates are following their passions and pursing careers that enable them to work with the ‘coolest’, most exciting technologies. Financial institutions like RBC (with RBC Ventures), Scotiabank (with Digital Factories) and CIBC (with Live Labs), are attempting to overcome this drain on talent by offering opportunities to accelerate banking innovation.

However, with financial technology becoming a less attractive career to pursue, opportunities are far less – leading to reductions in available talent, diversity, and specialist skills, stunting the FinTech markets further development.

 

At Caspian One, in collaboration with the our clients and selected partners, we are working to change how FinTech’s engage juniors. We believe the next-gen of talent will be hit the hardest from Covid and the recession.

We have a fantastic network of SMEs, who are crying out to help and share their knowledge. This new ‘future talent model’ directly competes with typical consultancy pools but gives so much more. Longer term commercial exposure, direct supervision with mentors, SME practical training from the ‘best-of-the-best' along with incentives that covert juniors to permanent staff.

Ultimately, we are trying to show compassion for FinTech juniors and the companies stunted by a lack of available talent – listening to their needs, comprehending their challenges and working with them to craft a viable solution.
