FinCircles
About

A specialist talent partner for fintech, founded by operators.

FinCircles was founded to address a clear gap in the market: fintech and payments companies are repeatedly underserved by generalist talent partners with limited domain knowledge, opaque commercial terms, and inconsistent delivery. The company has been built to set a different standard.

Operating principles

The four principles that define how we work

Built on fintech operating experience.

The founding team built and scaled a payment orchestration platform end to end — licensing, processor integration, KYC pipelines, fraud response, and multi-region team operations. Every client conversation is informed by that operating baseline.

Concentrated sourcing across the Balkans.

We source from a defined set of Balkan talent markets — Belgrade, Zagreb, Sarajevo, Skopje, Podgorica, Ljubljana, Sofia, Bucharest, and Athens — selecting the right market for each role based on talent depth, regulatory familiarity, and language coverage. EU working hours, EUR compensation, and English-medium delivery throughout.

AI fluency as a baseline requirement.

Every FinCircles specialist is assessed for proficiency with modern AI development tools — Claude, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and the broader toolchain. Tooling is provided, expected, and benchmarked for measurable productivity impact.

Transparent commercial terms.

A flat monthly rate per specialist. No placement fees, no introduction commissions, no hidden margins. Engagement health is reported proactively, including the issues that need attention.
