Highly specialized recruitment of regulatory experts
Recruitment challenges
The financial sector is a strongly regulated sector these days. Whether you are a trading firm, a broker or a trading platform – you will be subject to EU regulations like MiFID/MiFIR, IFD/IFR, short selling restrictions, market abuse regulations and many other rules and regulations. And even if you just trade cryptos or tokenized assets, you will soon become subject to a whole new set of market conduct and prudential rules when MiCAR enters into effect.
This means that people with knowledge and expertise in the regulatory field are in high demand these days. Finding good candidates for roles like Compliance Officer, Regulatory Counsel or a Head of Legal & Compliance can be quite a challenge.

The common denominator for all recruitment efforts is they are in the area of financial markets regulations.
Diversity
Diverse teams and companies are more successful, research shows. And these days regulated financial markets participants are even required to take diversity into account in their hiring policies. Lex Mercatus tries to to find candidates with different backgrounds for its clients, so clients can select the best candidate for the role.
No cure, no pay
Lex Mercatus does not work like many recruitment firms with a 1/3 fee structure where clients pay 1/3 upfront, 1/3 when the short list is presented and 1/3 when the candidate is hired. With Lex Mercatus you will only have to pay a recruitment fee when you have hired a candidate that Lex Mercatus has introduced. So – no cure, no pay.
