Two platforms. One deep expertise.

Generalist agencies spread thin across dozens of systems. We go deep on the two that matter most in capital markets technology.

Front Arena

Research first. Relationships second. Placements third.

We don't blast job specs. We identify the right people, understand what they need, and make introductions that matter.

01

Map the landscape

We research which banks are running Murex or Front Arena, who manages their technology teams, and what projects are in flight (migrations, upgrades, regulatory mandates).

02

Qualify decision-makers

We identify Heads of IT, CTOs, Application Managers, and Programme Directors who hold the budget and authority to engage recruitment partners.

03

Personalized outreach

Every conversation starts with context. We know the platform, the regulatory driver, and the project timeline before we ever pick up the phone.

The people who say yes.

Chief Technology Officer
Owns technology strategy and vendor relationships across the bank
Head of Trading Technology
Front office focus with urgent hiring needs for platform specialists
Application Manager

Programme Director

Every bank needs these people. Almost nobody specializes in finding them.

DeskBridge exists because capital markets technology deserves more than generalist recruitment.
