Your best banker is one phone call away from leaving. Hiring them was the easy part.<\/h1>\n

Specialist banking, finance and insurance recruitment across PNG, Australia and the Pacific – helping financial institutions attract, hire and retain the talent their competitors want.<\/p>\n \n View Finance Jobs <\/a>\n \n Hire Finance Talent <\/a>\n \"Banner\n\n

Our expertise in Banking, Finance & Insurance<\/h2>\n

PNG’s banking and financial services sector is one of the country’s most dynamic – home to established institutions like BSP, Kina Bank, TISA, Nasfund and Nambawan Super, all investing in technology and building local capability. It’s also one of the most competitive places to hire: experienced financial talent is in constant demand, and good people rarely stay on the market for long.<\/p>\n

We recruit across banking, finance and insurance – nationals and expatriates, from relationship managers to chief financial officers. Because we’re in Port Moresby, we know who’s moving before the market does, and we understand the regulatory and cultural realities that an offshore recruiter simply can’t.<\/p>\n \"Media\n\n

C-suite and board appointments for financial institutions<\/p>\n\n

As finance goes digital, the hardest roles to fill sit between finance and technology.
\n<\/h2>\n

PNG’s financial institutions are modernising fast – core banking systems, digital and mobile banking, data and analytics, financial-crime and AML technology, cyber and regulatory reporting. The professionals who can bridge finance and technology – who understand both the numbers and the systems behind them – are the scarcest talent in the market, and that pool barely exists locally.<\/p>\n

This is where a recruiter who only works one market falls short. We combine deep local knowledge of the PNG financial sector with a global talent network – sourcing scarce finance-technology, risk and compliance specialists from across Asia, the Philippines, South Africa, India and beyond, and handling the immigration, employment and payroll to get them on the ground. And because importing talent isn’t a long-term answer, we help you build the local capability behind them.<\/p>\n \"Media\n\n

In this market, keeping people is the other half.
\n<\/h2>\n

Pay is consistently the biggest reason finance professionals leave – yet most employers set offers without knowing what the market actually pays. In a sector where good people are approached constantly, that’s how you lose them. Every brief we work comes with salary benchmarking built in, drawn from our PNG Salary Guide & Workforce Intelligence Report – so you make the right offer the first time, and keep the people you’ve invested in.<\/p>\n \"Media\n\n
