Connecting financial services firms with leadership and teams who deliver.
At STJ Consultancy Solutions, we specialise in executive and specialist recruitment for the financial services industry — with a focus on Compliance, Risk Management, Financial Crime, and Data Protection.
Whether you're building out your senior leadership team, replacing a critical function head, or need short-term support through our expert Talent Pool, we deliver tailored recruitment solutions with precision, pace, and deep industry insight.
Why STJ?
We’re not generalist recruiters. With over 27 years of financial services experience, including Director and Board-level roles, our recruitment team has walked in the shoes of the people you’re hiring. We understand the nuances of regulated functions, the strategic pressures of the market, and the importance of cultural fit.
We combine a consultative approach with access to a carefully curated network of high-performing professionals — from CEOs and Managing Directors to SMFs, SMEs and interim leaders.
We don’t just find CVs. We find the right people to move your business forward.
