Every brief goes the same way, from our first chat right through to long after your new hire has settled in.
The white-glove bit is just that: nothing skipped, nothing rushed, however straightforward the role looks.
Eight stages, start to finish.
Every move goes the same way, from our first chat to long after you've found your feet in the new role.
Discovery
We get to know your business and where you're taking it, and we'll tell you honestly if hiring isn't actually the answer right now.
First Conversation
We sit down and work out what you actually want next, not just the title or the pay rise.
Market Mapping
We map out everyone worth knowing for the role, and you can watch the whole list build in a shared pipeline from day one.
The Picture
We show you everything that's out there for someone like you, including roles you'd never have heard about otherwise.
Outreach & Dialogue
We start real conversations with those people, no CV blasts, and we check in each week so you can see things moving instead of waiting in the dark.
Shortlist
We bring you the few that genuinely fit, so you're not wasting calls on roles that aren't you.
FinTalent Screening
We interview properly, with psychometric testing where the role warrants it, so the only people you meet are ones who genuinely want to be there.
Deep Brief
We give you the inside word on each brokerage: the money, the culture, the plans, the real picture.
Client Handover
We prep both sides so the interview goes well, then debrief the same day so nothing loses momentum.
Interview Prep
We get you ready for what they'll actually ask, and what to ask back, and the team already knows your name, so you're not walking in cold.
Offer Management
We handle the offer from go to whoa: references sorted, the counter-offer seen coming, no nasty surprises at the eleventh hour.
Offer & Negotiation
We handle the offer and the negotiation for you, so you don't have to do the awkward bit.
Placement
We stay close to your new hire through their notice period, which is where things tend to wobble, so they actually turn up on day one.
Notice Period
We help you through resigning and working out your notice. It's the nervy stretch, so we take the edge off it.
Settling In
We don't disappear once they start. We keep checking in so the hire settles and grows the way you both planned.
Settling In
We stay in touch for months after you start, because the move only really counts if it works out.

Joe & FinTalent have been very prolific in supporting our clients through their recruitment journeys.
He has proven his commitment and support not just with helping our clients find their next hire, but also to ensure that each hire has benefited our clients businesses.
Thanks Joe for your commitment and support.
From the get-go, Joe was like a supportive friend who really wanted to see you succeed.
We had lengthy conversations to figure out where I would be best placed and it really felt as if there was a lot of attention to detail to ensure I landed the perfect role for me.
We went to him on LinkedIn. He and Zain already knew each other from earlier in their careers, and Ryan flagged it himself rather than let us find out.
Money nearly stopped it. He held one number through three conversations and never asked for more, which is how we knew he was moving for the work.
A complex investor lending broker: SMSF, trust and self-employed structures, with construction depth that matched the leads coming off the group's build arm.
He came back with questions before he said yes, one of them on how protected the trail was.
He came into broking through a law firm's settlements desk, and had twice been the one who built the credit process and the CRM behind it.
He watched the founder's platform video before they met and turned up with questions. The client's read afterwards was that this was someone who could one day take over.
Seven years in a major bank's lending team, ranked its number one home lending specialist across Sydney and Melbourne.
He came off a separate mortgage broker search. He found 28Watt himself: bigger Sydney names were hiring, and his verdict on them was "just another brokerage".
Accreditation was the one thing that could have stopped it, so we got it answered.
Final year of a commerce degree, a year of lending behind a credit union counter, and no broking accreditation. The original brief would have filtered him out on the first line.
Nobody suggested it, but he reached out to Sahil himself to find out what the business was really like.
A decade in the Australian Defence Force, and he paid for the Diploma himself while still serving. He came to broking as a frustrated client, not a career guess.
He offered to work a trial if the first meeting went well. He had a letter of offer a week later instead.
An accountant out of business banking, running his own broking brand and generating every deal himself. All the technical skill, none of the lead flow, and he knew it.
We found him on LinkedIn and rang him cold. They wanted him for commercial knowledge none of their other brokers had.
Each one earned its spot, and you'll see it in how we actually work.
Transparency
We're upfront about what's realistic and what isn't, and what it'll actually take.
We sort out whether a brief is doable before it turns into a project, and the tricky conversations happen at the start, not once something's already gone sideways.
We're upfront about what's realistic and what isn't, and what it'll actually take.
The honest chat happens before any introductions, not once you're three rounds deep into something that was never right.
Unwavering Optimism
We'll take on briefs other people would call too narrow, too senior or too specific.
The right person nearly always exists.
The work is in finding them, not in talking you into lowering the bar.
We'll back moves other people would call too sideways, too senior or too specific.
The right role nearly always exists. The work is in finding it, not in talking you into settling.
Abundance
We share market data, salary intel and process advice without putting it on the invoice.
The relationship's worth more than any one placement, and the maths works itself out over time.
We share market data, salary intel and advice without making it transactional.
The relationship's worth more than any single placement, and the maths works itself out over time.
Accountability
We judge ourselves on who stays, not who we filled.
We follow every placement through long after the invoice is paid, and if we got something wrong, we'll tell you.
We judge ourselves on who stays, not who moved.
We follow every move through long after the offer's signed, and if we got something wrong, we'll tell you.
Let's make sure this fits.
The brokerages we click with treat hiring as a proper decision, not a box to tick.
A good hire builds your book for years. The wrong one can cost you a year just getting back to where you started.
The people we click with treat their next move as a proper decision, not just a browse.
A good move builds your career for years. The wrong one can cost you a year you don't get back.
How to get the best from us
You're hiring for a specialist mortgage or finance lending role.
You'd rather meet three to five people genuinely worth your time than wade through a stack of CVs.
You're happy to run it as an executive search, so we can put everything we've got into it.
You want good people quickly, inside a fortnight, before the rest of the market gets to them.
You'll be straight with us about the brief, the money and the culture.
How to get the best from us
You're a broker, credit analyst or finance specialist with real numbers behind you.
You're moving for the right reasons, not just chasing a few extra grand.
You're happy to back two or three roles that genuinely fit rather than firing your CV everywhere.
You'll be straight with us about what you actually want next.
You're treating this as a real career decision, not an idle scroll.
Not the right brief for us?
If we're not the right fit for your role, we'll say so, and point you towards whoever or whatever is, whether that's a specialist, a tool or another way to go about it.
You'll still walk away with a straight read on the market and the package.
We care too much about this industry to send you off with nothing.
Nothing that fits right now?
Maybe we haven't got the right move for you today, or your patch sits outside what we do.
Either way, you'll get a straight read on where you stand, what you're worth, and your smartest next step, even if that's with someone other than us.
We won't ghost you and we won't waste your time.
We got into this to help good people in the industry land well, and that doesn't switch off just because we can't place you.
Tell us who you're hiring for.
Tell us where you're heading next.
No forms, no back and forth. Grab a time that suits and we'll take it from there.
