Complex markets need specialist operators.
Other--Side is the recruitment and operational partner for regulated industries. We find the people who already know your market, we build the team around them, and we help make it work.
Hiring is harder.
The right people already have a job, a licence to protect and a full inbox. In a regulated market a hire is also a compliance decision: the person has to know the rules, the regulator and the operators, and has to be willing to move. That shortlist is short, and everyone else is calling it too.
We know the people inside these industries, and the ones happy to work in them. We know who is good, who is available, and who is about to be. And we look at whether someone will stay before we look at whether they are free.
Launching is harder.
Every market has its own rules, regulators, partners and operating realities. A licence application, a bank that says yes, a payment partner that stays, a local director the regulator will accept: each one is a gate with its own clock, and none of them opens without the right person in the chair. Your first hires decide how fast the rest follows.
We have opened markets before. We know which roles to fill first, which partners answer, and what the regulator will ask you.
Scaling is harder.
What worked elsewhere rarely translates perfectly. New market, new rules, new team, while the first one keeps running and keeps needing you. Scaling is a hiring problem and an operating problem at the same time, and they are usually handed to two different people.
We do both. The people who find your team also help design how it will work.
We make it easier.
Other--Side works operator first. We recruit inside the industries we know, we speak the regulator’s language, and we measure ourselves on what happens after the start date, not on the placement.
- 01
Recruitment
We find the people.
Specialist talent, deeply vetted for your industry, from the first hire to the full leadership team. Compliance, operations, technology, product, finance, country leadership: the roles a regulated business cannot get wrong.
- 02
Market Entry
We build the team.
The people, the partners and the operating setup a new jurisdiction needs, in the order it needs them. From the first local hire to a team that can hold a licence.
- 03
Operations
We help run it.
Hands-on support once the team is in place: process, structure, reporting, momentum. We stay involved after the start date, because a placement is not the outcome. A working operation is.
- 01
Inside the industry, or happy to work in it.
We know the people already in regulated markets, and the ones open to joining them. Both lists are short. We keep both.
- 02
Vetted for the rules, not just the CV.
We check every candidate against the regulatory reality of your market before you meet them.
- 03
Built to stay.
We look at retention before we look at availability.
- 04
