Introducing Klaros Talent

Does talent still matter for banks and fintechs?

What’s the role of talent in a world where job tenure has fallen steadily with each new generation? In a world ruled by AI? In a world in which jobs that have historically required years of specialized knowledge and expertise can be eliminated overnight?

In one word: Huge.

In two words: Still huge.

In three words: Bigger than ever.

That’s why Klaros Group is excited to launch Klaros Talent. 

Despite all of the advances that technology has brought, there’s no substitute for having the right talent in key positions, particularly in the specialized world of financial services. At a time of shifting regulatory requirements and growing competitive pressures, talent, team cohesion, and strong leadership are even more important.

Conversations about talent arise in virtually every Klaros engagement. Our clients frequently seek our help in assessing the talent they have, understanding the talent they’ll need, and connecting them with people in our network who might meet those needs.   

We formed Klaros Talent with Dan Solo, the newest addition to our senior advisor team, and his executive search firm, Second Line Advisors. Dan has a long background in executive search and has worked with many leading financial services companies, fintechs, and digital assets firms - including many current and former Klaros clients - to support their talent needs. And Dan shares the values that have made Klaros special: integrity, expertise, kindness, and a passion for helping our clients find great solutions to critical problems.  

Obviously,  executive search is an important element of managing human capital, but Klaros Talent is about far more than executive search. Whether it’s addressing a regulatory challenge or enforcement action, staffing up for a bank charter application or bank partnership, or preparing to enter the U.S. market, Klaros Talent will offer customized solutions across the full spectrum of human capital needs, which also includes interim placements, board of directors recruitment, talent assessment, and board and executive coaching. 

I'm excited to see what we can achieve together. If you have a talent challenge, or thoughts you’d like to share about the role and importance of talent in this brave new world, reach us at hello@klaros.com.
