What we do

Two services, built for financial services

Specialist hiring across financial services and fintech, and dedicated offshore engineering teams built in India. One domain, understood deeply, delivered as a partner, not a vendor.

Talent Acquisition

Financial services hiring fails when the recruiter does not understand the domain.

Specialist recruitment and executive search for banks, NBFCs, fintechs, insurers and GCCs. We source and assess for technology, product, risk, compliance, operations and front-office roles from live market knowledge, not database searches. Success-fee: you pay when a candidate joins.

Recent: 4 Salesforce Financial Services Cloud engineers placed in 5 weeks for a Series B wealth platform. Zero replacements at 18 months.

About Talent Acquisition

Outpost: offshore teams

The engineering team you cannot build fast enough at home, run for you in India.

Dedicated offshore technology teams for fintech and software firms worldwide, employed by us and directed by you. Set up as an offshore development centre, on an employer-of-record basis, or built to transfer into your own entity. Fintech-led, delivered from India.

About Outpost

We also take on Fractional HR and custom compensation benchmarking for sizeable engagements, in India and internationally, and publish salary benchmarks free to use.

Software we build

Two products, built in house

Alongside the practice we build and run two software products, each on its own platform and priced on its own site.

Capstan

The HR platform (HRIS) we build: all-in flat pricing, EU hosting available, AI native. A separate product with its own site.

About Capstan

RecruiterDesk

The recruitment software we build: an applicant tracking system and recruiting CRM in one. Also a separate product with its own site.

Why PeopleCap

Judgment, not just delivery.

Most firms in this space either source CVs or write HR policies. We do something harder. We work as a thinking partner on your hiring decisions. Read our thesis →

Financial services first

Almost all of our work is with financial services and fintech firms, so we understand your compliance environment, your talent competition, and your hiring cycles without needing to be briefed on them. When a mandate outside the sector looks like ours, a technology, data or risk role with the same regulatory weight, we take it on its merits.

Data-informed decisions

Every recommendation we make is grounded in live market data from our active engagements. Not surveys from two years ago. Not generic benchmarks.

Partner, not vendor

We measure our success by yours. Whether it is a retained relationship or a single mandate, we are invested in the outcome, not the invoice.

What clients tell us

Eighteen months after four Salesforce FSC engineers joined, the platform's head of engineering told us the screening calibration was the single largest reason the hires held.
