Recruitment Case Studies & Founder Interviews
— What hiring challenges did World Golden Gate face as a VARA-regulated fintech startup?
— As a startup operating in a tightly regulated space, we needed someone with a deep understanding of virtual assets, AML, and compliance from day one. Finding a candidate with both technical expertise and regulatory fluency was a real challenge.
— How did Hirexel help address this need?
— Hirexel’s recruitment expertise really made the difference. They quickly understood what was at stake and delivered a highly qualified, compliance-focused candidate who ticked all the boxes — both in fintech knowledge and VARA-related licensing.
— What kind of impact did the candidate have on your operations?
— The new hire allowed us to hit critical regulatory milestones faster than planned. It accelerated our product development, onboarding, and internal compliance workflows — all while staying fully aligned with VARA expectations.
How did Hirexel’s approach stand out compared to other recruitment options?
— Their understanding of the fintech and virtual asset landscape was outstanding. They weren’t just recruiters — they acted like partners who understood the urgency and complexity of building in a regulated environment.
— What advice would you give to other fintech startups hiring in regulated markets like the UAE?
— Work with recruiters who speak your language — not just technically, but legally and operationally. Hirexel brought us the talent we needed to build fast without compromising on compliance.
