The fintech segment, which saw a massive growth spurt during the pandemic and its immediate aftermath, experienced a relatively tough 2024. The year ended with the abrupt shutdown—and subsequent acquisition—of accounting startup Bench. Although the rapid pace of funding has slowed down, some fintech companies are still seeing growth and expanding their teams.
In an effort to gain a better understanding of just how many fintechs might fit into this category, I put out a call several months ago for fintech companies that are hiring. The response was overwhelming, with more than a dozen responses pouring in within the first hour. Over the course of a few days, I received over 60 responses from various fintech companies.
The Surprising Number of Responses
The sheer number—and quality—of responses was surprising even to me, someone who writes about this space on a regular basis. This reaction highlights just how many fintech companies are actively looking for new talent right now.
However, revisiting this topic several months later revealed that while fintechs are still hiring, many of them don’t have as many open roles as they once did. Nevertheless, there are still plenty of available positions, and some companies are even hiring more roles than they were a few months ago.
