Compliance Recruitment Solutions

At Compliance Recruitment Solutions, we pride ourselves on being the longest-established compliance recruitment firm, run by former compliance officers who understand the technical aspects of the role better than our competitors. Our team, comprising of experienced professionals with a background in senior management, has been serving the industry since 1988. We take pride in our ability to send you CVs of candidates that properly match the requirements of the role, taking into account functional skills, sector experience, and seniority.

We understand the pressures of the role and the importance of character types fitting one type of organisation or role over another. Our comprehensive understanding of the UK job market, developed since the introduction of proactive regulation in financial services in 1988, enables us to advise on the going rate for any role and operate without a job specification. Our expertise extends to writing job specifications when needed, ensuring that our clients receive the best possible talent for their organisation.
