Yes, happy with the changes to the Head of AML spec — it's much more aligned to the Irish market now!

Sigmentix AI

At €100k–€120k you will reach approximately 40% of the PCF-52 qualified market with direct PI or EMI experience in Ireland 1. If you were open to going to €150k, that jumps to 74% 2 — including several passive candidates who would move for the right package.

2 Passive Candidate Engagement Data, Q1 2026

Let's stay at €100k–€120k for now. Can we revisit the budget later if we are not seeing results?

Sigmentix AI

Yes, you can revisit at any time. Worth flagging though: PCF-52 PI roles are among the most competitive in the Irish market 3 and top candidates are rarely available for long. Early mover advantage matters here.

Platform Features

Built for the complexity of regulated hiring

Generic recruitment tools don't understand PCF approvals, fitness and probity requirements, or senior manager accountability regimes. Sigmentix does.

🗺️

Why It's Open

Business expansion, new licence category

You see all of this before the firm sees anything about you

Full Transparency

You always know exactly what you're walking into.

Before you engage with any opportunity, you have complete visibility of the role, the firm, the package, and the context. No mystery. No wasted conversations.

👁️

See Everything First

Full role details, firm type, reporting structure, and reason for hire are all visible before the firm sees anything about you. You will know whether the salary on offer is above, below, or in line with your expectations before you decide to engage.

🔒

You Control Your Identity

Your name, employer, and contact details are never shared without your explicit consent. You decide when, and if, you reveal yourself.

✋

No Pressure, Ever

Decline or ignore any opportunity with no follow-up from the firm. We may occasionally ask for general feedback on why a role was not of interest, but your individual reasons are never shared with the hiring firm. Ever.

📋

Know Who Is Hiring

Every firm on Sigmentix is either CBI-regulated or actively seeking CBI authorisation. No agencies, no headhunters — direct from the hiring firm only.

How It Works

Simple, painless, and built around you.

Our onboarding is intuitive and takes minutes. We take the time to understand your background, your ambitions, and what the right next move looks like for you. Then we do the work, so you do not have to.

Register Anonymously

Tell us a little about yourself and we take it from there. We cross-reference your career history against CBI licensing records to verify your PCF background, then simply ask you to confirm what we find. Quick, intuitive, and completely confidential.

We Learn What You Are Looking For

We take the time to understand your career aspirations, what a good move looks like for you, and what you would walk away from your current position for. We also help you present yourself in the best possible light for PCF senior appointments.

Roles Come to You

No job searching required. When a relevant opportunity from a regulated firm matches your profile, salary expectations, and career goals, we bring it to you. You see full details before deciding whether to engage.

Engage on Your Terms

If you're interested, we tailor your CV specifically for that role and introduce you to the firm. If not, simply pass — no explanation needed.

Why Sigmentix

Built around your career, not just your next job.

We take the time to understand where you want to go, not just where you have been. Then we do the work of finding opportunities that are genuinely worth your attention.

🎯

Relevant Roles Only

We only match you with opportunities that align with your PCF background, seniority, and salary range. No irrelevant roles, no wasted conversations.

📝

CV Tailored for Every Role

For every opportunity you choose to pursue — whether through Sigmentix or elsewhere — we help you tailor your CV specifically for that role and firm.

📵

No Cold Calls or Spam

Sigmentix is not a recruiter. We will never cold call you, share your details, or flood your inbox. You hear from us only when there is a genuine match.

🏛️

Regulated and Pre-Auth Firms

Opportunities come from CBI-regulated firms and those actively seeking authorisation — serious organisations building their senior leadership teams.

💰

Budget-Matched Opportunities

You set your salary expectations. We only send you opportunities from firms whose budget aligns with what you are looking for — no surprises.

⚡

Passive or Active — Your Choice

Not actively looking? That's fine. Register and stay open to the right opportunity without committing to a full job search or updating your CV yourself.

Only for professionals who hold or have held a PCF role.

Sigmentix is exclusively for professionals with direct PCF experience under the CBI's fitness and probity regime. If that is you, we would love to have you on the platform.
