Since 2004, Danos Group has specialised in Compliance recruitment and executive search within Financial Services, supporting regulated organisations with permanent, interim and consulting solutions.
We partner with banks, investment managers, insurers, FinTechs and payments firms to build and maintain effective Compliance functions — from senior leadership appointments through to specialist delivery and regulatory programmes.
How We Support Compliance Functions
Permanent Recruitment Senior and specialist Compliance hiring, from functional leads through to Chief Compliance Officer and executive-level appointments.
Interim Compliance Solutions Short-term leadership cover, regulatory change support and remediation programmes, delivered by experienced Compliance professionals.
Compliance Consulting Deployment of senior practitioners to deliver defined regulatory, governance and change initiatives where additional capacity or specialist expertise is required.
Our approach supports appropriate scaling of Compliance capability, while maintaining oversight, quality and regulatory expectations.
We advise boards and executive teams on senior Compliance hiring, where accountability, judgement and regulatory credibility are essential.
Our mandates regularly include:
Chief Compliance Officer (CCO)
Group, Regional and Divisional Heads of Compliance
MLROs and Deputy MLROs
Senior Financial Crime and Regulatory Compliance leaders
Assignments are delivered through retained executive search, contingent senior recruitment or interim leadership, depending on the organisation’s regulatory exposure, and timelines.
Global Compliance Recruitment Coverage
With established teams across EMEA, the Americas and Asia Pacific, we deliver Compliance talent globally. Our network is actively maintained and built through long-standing relationships with senior Compliance professionals operating in regulated Financial Services environments.
Danos Associates offered much more than simply sourcing candidates.
They helped frame the scope of the search, giving context as to where we could search for our candidate pool and provided a commercial view of the labour market in this field and what we could expect… The shortlist of candidates we received was of a very high standard. Each candidate had been looked at critically.
Nicola SwannHR Director
Danos Consulting offered an excellent Interim Head of Compliance as a solution whilst undertaking our challenging permanent search mandate.
Danos Consulting really listened to our needs, parachuting in a candidate with the right technical skill set and personality. They really understood the DNA of our business which enabled them to provide support effectively when working to tight onboarding deadlines.
General Counsel, Niche Asset Management Firm
Danos Associates spend a lot of time getting to know your team and the culture, which makes it easier when new staff join the business.
In credit risk often the candidate pools have the same skill sets, however there are elements that the CV miss out. The Danos team work tirelessly to understand the skills levels of all candidates and most importantly, they get us quality candidates we can close and bring on board quickly.
Director of Model, Development Banking
Danos was referred to me as the best in the business.
I needed to find risk and compliance staff. My experience corroborates precisely that. Thorough, encyclopaedic market knowledge and execution orientated.
