Headcount, the payment processing industry’s leading recruiter for over 15 years, has been acquired by global iGaming recruitment agency Pentasia.
Demand for recruitment solutions is continuing to grow significantly in both iGaming and Fintech, but there are also increasing synergies between the two sectors: tight regulation; data-centric cultures; and high volume environments to name but a few. Talent regularly transitions between Fintech and iGaming already, and there are signs the trend will only increase.
Now though, as both sectors address emerging trends like cryptocurrency, information security and AI technology, this shared talent pool is set to expand further still. Pentasia’s acquisition of Headcount will bring significant benefits, both for clients and for candidates:
CEO of Headcount, Neill Butcher:
“I am delighted that Headcount now forms part of Pentasia. This is game changing move for the business. Since our foundation in 2001, we’ve developed an exceptional reputation for delivery and have built an impressive international portfolio of clients that we’ve been able to service from our London headquarters.
“Now, as part of Pentasia, our increased bandwidth and capacity enables us to provide talent across the full range of business functions. This move has always been about providing more choice and really is a win-win for all parties concerned.”
Pentasia’s Managing Director, Alastair Cleland:
“Pentasia has tracked Headcount’s progress for a number of years and there are clearly synergies between the two businesses. Combined, we now provide our respective clients base with access to a new candidate pool and recruiter expertise from a wider range of industries.
“Neill and I have worked closely over the past few months on the acquisition. We, and the combined senior management team, are incredibly excited about the future, and believe we are ideally placed to achieve our ambitions including expansion into new markets, functions and locations“
The acquisition also brings Headcount, as part of Pentasia, into The Conexus Group. Combined, The Conexus Group of companies offer training, advisory and business brokerage solutions; services which transform and grow of organisations at all stages of their corporate development.
Following the merger Headcount will continue operate as a separate brand alongside Pentasia.
Clients and candidates are invited to contact either business to discuss new opportunities.

Most modern e-mail clients now separate e-mails into different tabs. For example, Outlook has an “Other” tab, and Gmail has tabs for different types of e-mails, such as promotional.
For security reasons the link will expire after 60 minutes. Try submitting the login form again and wait a few seconds for the e-mail to arrive.
The link will only work one time – once it’s been clicked, the link won’t log you in again. Instead, you’ll need to go back to the login screen and generate a new link.
Make sure you’re clicking the link on the most recent e-mail that’s been sent to you. We recommend deleting the e-mail once you’ve clicked the link.
Some security systems will automatically click on links in e-mails to check for phishing, malware, viruses and other malicious threats. If these have been clicked, it won’t work when you try to click on the link.
