Reset, Reflect, Recruit: Why the Easter Bank Holiday Is the Perfect Time to Reassess Hiring Strategy

As the UK slows down for the Easter bank holiday, many in the FinTech space use this time for a well-earned pause. But at TRM-International, we see this moment differently — not just as a break, but as an opportunity.

A Time to Reflect

Easter marks a natural point of reflection, both personally and professionally. For rapidly growing FinTech firms, this is a chance to take a step back and ask:

• Do we have the right people in place to meet our goals this year?

• Are we investing in future talent or just filling gaps?

• Have we future-proofed our team with the skills that emerging tech demands?

  
  

Bank Holidays: Hidden Talent Moments

It’s no secret that many professionals take bank holidays to consider career moves. With inboxes quiet and the pace of work dialled down, candidates often browse job boards, update CVs, and reflect on their current roles. It’s one of the most underrated windows to spark candidate engagement — and savvy companies take advantage.

At TRM-International, we’ve seen time and again how long weekends lead to new opportunities. Whether it’s placing a compliance specialist re-evaluating their future, or connecting a start-up with a lead developer ready for a fresh challenge, timing matters.

A Recruitment Reset

If Q1 didn’t quite go to plan — or if Q2 is looking ambitious — now is the time to reset your hiring strategy. Here’s how we support FinTech firms during this period:

• Talent forecasting to identify future hiring needs

• Candidate pipelining while others are on pause

• Strategic hires aligned with long-term business goals

• Real conversations, grounded in trust and industry insight

Looking Ahead with TRM International

As spring begins and the industry re-energises, we’re here to help you build teams that aren’t just fit for now — but ready for what’s next.

Whether you’re using this bank holiday to unwind or re-strategise, our team is on hand to support, advise, and connect you with talent that transforms.

Happy Easter from all of us at TRM-International.
