The Challenge

A leading digital payments provider in the FinTech space was scaling operations across the GCC after securing new enterprise contracts. They needed to quickly build a functional unit spanning product, engineering, compliance, and operations - but without the lead time or cost of hiring from scratch.

At the same time, a regional FinTech competitor announced plans to disband one of its business units, impacting a team of 15 mid-to-senior professionals with domain knowledge, proven delivery capability, and team synergy.

The client recognised the opportunity - but needed a partner to strategically manage the acqui-hire process, assess fit, mitigate risk, and preserve team cohesion.

Hear what they had to say
We needed to stand up an entire business unit in weeks, not months, and Talaas delivered beyond expectation. Their acqui-hire strategy gave us instant access to a fully functional, cohesive team. Every detail was handled, due diligence, onboarding, contracts, and cultural fit. We saved time, budget, and gained 15 high-performing team members who hit the ground running. Zero attrition. Maximum value.
