Fintech HI.RE is an executive search and offshore resourcing firm founded in 2024 by Cliff van Tonder, who spent over two decades leading C-level teams at Zafin, Finastra, Temenos, and BNP Paribas. The firm targets banks, fintechs, and system integrators across APAC and beyond, combining executive-level placement with offshore delivery capability through India. Technical domains span core banking platform modernization, AI-first payment systems, and fintech transformation programs - focus areas that reflect the founder's background scaling enterprise payment and banking infrastructure. The firm's positioning centers on domain expertise rather than traditional recruitment volume: van Tonder operates from the premise that only former fintech leaders can accurately assess and place current ones. Delivery includes both senior leadership placements and team builds around payment protocols (ISO 8583, ISO 20022, SWIFT, AS2805), cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure), and integration stacks (MuleSoft, IBM IIB). The offshore component handles resourcing for microservices architectures, event-driven systems, and automation tooling including SOAR, AIOps, and RPA platforms like UiPath and Blue Prism. Fintech HI.RE explicitly positions against conventional recruitment models by emphasizing team architecture over role-filling. The offshore India channel supports rapid scaling for clients running tight transformation deadlines, while the executive search arm handles C-suite and senior technical leadership across banking modernization and payments infrastructure projects. The operational model suggests a hybrid consultancy-recruiter approach tailored to organizations navigating regulatory migration timelines and platform overhauls.
