We find the people behind
financial technology, markets
infrastructure, and
quant-driven teams.
Founder-led search for technical, quantitative, product, and leadership roles where finance and technology meet.
Specialist search for roles where context matters.
dygg solutions is a specialist search practice for fintech and financial markets teams hiring into roles where technical depth, market context, and candidate access matter.
We work across fintech, institutional finance, trading, risk, data, and engineering. Our focus is the talent that sits between disciplines: engineers who understand financial systems, quants who can build, product leaders who can navigate regulated markets, and technical operators who scale teams without losing precision.
The best candidates in these markets are rarely found through broad outreach or generic keyword search. They sit inside specialist teams, adjacent markets, and hard-to-map networks. dygg is built to find them, understand them, and approach them with the context the search deserves.
Built from
inside the market.
Hiring in fintech and financial markets is rarely a simple keyword match. The strongest candidates often sit between categories: technical enough for demanding engineering teams, commercially aware enough for institutional environments, and specialized enough that generalist search misses the signal.
dygg was built from years spent recruiting inside these markets, not adjacent to them. That proximity changes the search. It shapes who responds, how requirements are calibrated, what signals matter, and how quickly a vague mandate becomes a credible shortlist.
dygg is intentionally focused: senior technical, quantitative, product, data, and leadership hiring across the places where finance and technology converge.
Rob Crawford, Founder
Search, intelligence, and market context for specialist hiring.
Search
Founder-led technical and executive search for roles where the wrong hire is expensive and the right candidate is rarely active. Built for fintech, financial markets, trading, data, risk, product, and engineering teams that need a precise shortlist, not a large funnel.
Formats: contingent search, retained search, and embedded / RPO support. Engagement flexes to the mandate — contingent for active markets, retained for confidential or senior searches, and embedded when teams need specialist capacity without adding permanent headcount.
Market Advisory
Talent market mapping, search calibration, compensation signal, competitor intelligence, and hiring strategy for teams that need to understand the market before they move.
Included in retained and embedded searches, and available as a standalone advisory engagement when a team needs clarity before opening a role.
Talent Intelligence
The intelligence layer behind every search. Dygg maps candidate movement, specialist talent pools, and market activity to give hiring teams more context before, during, and after a search.
A productized version for internal talent teams is in development.
The market is connected.
Search should be too.

Hover a node to trace its connections
A strong shortlist rarely comes from one title, one company list, or one search string. The best candidates often sit in adjacent markets, nearby systems, or roles that do not map neatly onto a job description.
dygg's talent intelligence system tracks those connections: where candidates move, which firms develop relevant talent, and which backgrounds translate across fintech, markets, quant, data, and infrastructure teams.
In practice, every shortlist comes with context. Where the market is strongest. Who was approached. Which patterns are emerging. Why certain candidates are more likely to move.
Relationships built the network. Intelligence scales the search.

Founder-led means the search stays close to the signal.
The most important searches lose quality when too many layers sit between the client, the market, and the candidate conversation.
At dygg, searches stay close to the founder. That means tighter calibration, faster feedback loops, more informed outreach, and a clearer read on what the market is actually saying.
The goal is not to create activity. It is to create confidence: in the market, in the shortlist, and in the decision that follows.
