The Try-Before-You-Buy Talent Platform

Disrupting the financial services talent space.

Our Mission & Vision

Our Mission

To help both early-stage and senior professionals build long-term, meaningful careers by partnering with employers to recruit, train, retain and reward their greatest assets — their people.

Our Vision

To continue building and upscaling a warm bench of trusted, performance-tracked staff that make the recruitment process easy, efficient and cost-effective for businesses.

For Companies

Global Early Careers (GEC) is a talent-launch and workforce-development platform that gives businesses the extra hands they need cost free which helps graduates, students, and career-changers gain the skills, experience, and confidence to start successful careers in Financial Services, Consulting, and FinTech.

Step 1: Career Development & Mindset Coaching

Every candidate begins with professional development and mindset coaching — led by our leadership team. We assess motivation, communication, and long-term potential to identify individuals with the right attitude, resilience and drive.

Step 2: Industry-Specific Training (Pre-Deployment)

Candidates who pass the first stage progress to specialised training programs designed in collaboration with employers based on client needs and demands.

Step 3: Career Alignment & Shortlisting

Finally, we align each candidate’s studies, ambitions, and strengths with real hiring opportunities — shortlisting only those who demonstrate dedication, strong performance and a proven work ethic on our platform.

Our Global Early Careers model allows companies to access pre-trained, motivated interns at zero cost (or low cost if preferred) giving them the opportunity to assess skills, attitude, and cultural fit before making long-term hiring decisions.

Many interns progress directly into contract or permanent roles with the same host company — or through our sister brand, Global Fin-S Careers, which supports their transition into junior professional roles and become part of our trusted talent bench as an alumni once they have a proven track record.
For candidates, GEC is the launch pad to gain real-world experience, build a network, and convert learning into a full-time career. For companies, it’s an innovative, risk-free, and cost-effective way to attract, train and retain emerging talent — redefining how future professionals enter the industry.

For Companies

Access experienced professionals for contractor roles, executive positions, and project-based work in Financial Services and FinTech.

Interim Contractors

Flexible, skilled professionals, consultants, subject matter experts and tactical teams for time critical projects.

Headhunting

Senior-level full time placements, actively hunted from competitors and influenced to join our clients.

Impact on businesses

Over the years, I’ve had countless recruiters reach out, all promising the same thing.

James and his team at Global Early Careers are different. Their “try-before-you-buy” model just makes sense; it lets both sides, company and candidate, experience working together before any long-term commitment. It also gives young professionals the real-world experience they need to launch their careers.

We’ve worked with them across YAP and Thomsen Advisory, and I’ve seen firsthand how much it de-risks hiring while improving the quality of talent. If you’re in Financial Services or FinTech, I’d highly recommend taking a look at what they’re doing. They’ve built a model that genuinely works, and one that’s long overdue in this industry.

Excited to keep building on our partnership.

As a fully funded start-up in the RegTech space, we needed individuals driven by a genuine passion for Financial Crime Compliance and Technology — not those set in old habits or traditional methods. We were looking for fresh perspectives: people eager to learn fast, grow with our organisation, and commit to the space long term.

Through the Global Early Careers Program, we gained exactly that. The team provided us with two bright, motivated interns for our Dubai office who have been trained on our technology and integrated seamlessly into our operations. It’s been incredibly rewarding to invest time in them and watch their growth — they’ve now become part of our long-term hiring plans.

What I love most about the model is the ability to ‘try before you buy.’ We were able to assess capability, attitude, and cultural fit before making any hiring decisions financially. Both our team and the interns have gained valuable experience and built a strong foundation for future success.

For any funded start-up looking to recruit, train, and retain top talent who can are trend and tech savvy without breaking the bank, the innovative approach offered by Global Careers Group is unmatched. It’s a smarter, lower-risk, and more cost-effective way to build a talented, motivated workforce.”

I came across James and Global Early Careers through their training and internship initiative, which I found online. The concept immediately stood out—it was a refreshing, impactful approach to supporting young talent, and it aligned perfectly with our hiring needs and CSR goals.

After meeting James in Dubai, I was thoroughly impressed by the structure of their program, the performance metrics provided for each intern, and the real experience they had gained with previous clients. We needed additional support for our senior team and were keen to bring in capable junior staff with 3–6 months of hands-on experience—Global Early Careers delivered exactly that.

We hired several of their alumni as junior contractors, and they’ve integrated seamlessly into our team. The impact has been tangible: they’ve lifted a significant workload off our senior staff and contributed to a much smoother workflow across the business.

I highly recommend James and Global Early Careers to any organisation looking for a smart recruitment, training, and staffing solution that genuinely works—for both the company and the young professionals involved.

I was contacted by James from Global Fin-S Careers about a Financial Crime Compliance consulting opportunity with a FinTech based in DIFC. The process was incredibly smooth — I was interviewed the very next day and fully onboarded with the client by Monday. Their ability to deliver on interim staffing requirements is second to none.

The Global Fin-S platform is impressive — they work with some of the most recognised and fast-growing FinTech clients in the region. For any client or candidate looking for a staffing partner who can deliver high-calibre professionals on time-critical projects, I can’t recommend them enough. The whole process was seamless, professional, and executed with finesse.

I genuinely admire what James and his team are building under the Global Careers Group. Their initiative is different, impactful, and making a real difference in the Financial Services industry — there’s honestly no one doing it quite like them.

When James reached out with an opportunity to lead a project for a major bank in Dubai, I knew it would be a great fit—but I didn’t expect just how rewarding it would become.

Not only did I get to step into a role that challenged and stretched me professionally, but I was also given the chance to mentor two bright interns through his internship program. These interns came in hungry to learn, eager to contribute, and thanks to the structure James put in place, they were well-prepared and quick to add value.

James had the foresight to pair an experienced professional like myself with emerging talent—and it worked brilliantly. It created a dynamic where I could lead with confidence, while also helping shape the next generation of compliance professionals. The initiative gave us all something: real experience, real development, and real impact.

It’s rare to find a program that balances opportunity with purpose, but James has built exactly that. I’m proud to have been part of it.

I have worked with James for many years now. He has headhunted for my internal team and built trust over the years with both myself, my team, and my clients. He is very persistent and always aims to improve and take onboard the feedback I give him.

I’ve also recommended him to my clients for their interim staffing needs on highly technical, project-based roles — and he consistently delivers. James goes the extra mile and does everything he can to do the right thing, keeping everyone involved and informed throughout the recruitment process.

I would recommend James and the Global Careers Group to any financial institution looking for a standout staffing partner that operates with transparency and integrity.
