Strategic Hiring Partnership with AMINA Bank

'Broadgate has become a genuinely integral part of our hiring effort at AMINA. While it sits externally, in practice, Broadgate operates as an extension of our internal talent acquisition team, with a deep and very practical understanding of our business, culture, and the profile of individuals who succeed here.

What distinguishes Callum and the Broadgate team is their ability to identify candidates who are not only technically strong but also well aligned with the demands of operating at the intersection of regulated banking and digital assets. That nuance is critical in our environment and comes from sustained, hands-on exposure to the organisation and its leadership.'
