Hi, we’re Orso!

Trailer 01The Orso Bear

Orso is for the brands, the companies, the candidates.

The world of finance is changing fast.

We know from experience, as does every finance leader, what it feels like to receive an email of PDFs and lose a Monday morning to the wrong candidates.

We’ve been in the trenches of month end and battled board deadlines, working side by side with good talent.

We know exactly what good talent looks like.

But we also know how a brand shows up in the real world, what real values mean, and how those values can inspire, change and build long lasting relationships.

This is how Orso works.

We work as an exclusive partner for the brands we take on, because every detail is the brand:

  • We find talent the right way, through the Orso Gate.
  • We value everyone who applies, win or lose, with specific feedback from the Orso Gate.
  • We interview on real finance experience that can’t be taught.
  • We show talent in new ways, through our Orso portal. The candidate view you’d expect in 2026, giving people their voice back.
  • And we do it all for a flat 10%.

We are Orso.
What finance recruitment should always have been.

don’t poke the bear…
Recruitment isn’t just a process. It’s a representation of your brand. Candidates talk, people talk, and how you show up in every room matters, even the rooms you’re not initially a part of during a recruitment process.

Do you like being ghosted? We don't! That's why at Orso we built things differently, introducing the Orso Gate, a structured first-stage assessment on financial scenarios related to the role, that rewards only one thing, the right answer. No CV, no logos, just financial acumen. Whatever the answer, you hear back, usually the same day and checked by a person, with the reason why.

At Orso, the thought of sending a candidate to you after a 15 minute screening call makes us cringe. You now have a finance leader running your first-stage interviews, saving you time and unnecessary headaches. The verdict from that first-stage interview lands in your portal.

WHY ORSO

For the candidate, for the human being

You are not a number.

Orso never forgets you are a human being, doing your best, trying to land the right role, so we built things differently around here.

  • Real feedback, even on a no. Ranbir checks every decision himself and tells you why, usually the same day. Never ghosted, never left wondering.
  • Interviewed by a finance leader. Ranbir runs your first stage himself, so you speak to someone who actually knows what it's like to work in every situation you've been in.
  • A human behind the CV. Through to the client? Your portal profile brings the real you to life, well beyond a PDF.
We can live with a no.We can't live with a system that doesn't give you a chance.
Every layer is built to give you the best chance to show the real you, you are not a CV.
For the client, because you are human too

You have enough on your plate.

Board packs, month ends, working papers, statutory deadlines. The last thing you need is five vague PDFs to grade.

  • No more guessing. Never wonder again whether the CVs in your inbox are actually good enough.
  • No more wasted Mondays. Stop interviewing candidate after candidate who quietly misses the brief. Let Orso take care of the first stage and pass on the notes to you in your portal.
  • A shortlist you can trust on sight. Only people I would have put straight into my own finance team, tested and ready.
Built by a finance leader who lived the pain of hiring.The job was simple, take the pain away.
The 10% is only the icing on the cake.

behind Orso.

I did not build Orso from the outside looking in. I built it after 15+ years inside finance, making the calls, building teams and seeing exactly what a hiring process asks of both sides.

Good hiring is not about finding a good candidate on paper, it’s about knowing, through years of actual finance experience, what talent looks like, and how talent shows up.

How Orso commits to D&I

Fair because everyone is seen in full.

Same bar for everyone.The same application questions, the same first stage interview questions, one scorecard, I built Orso not only for Companies, but so that every candidate was judged on identical evidence.
Seen, not screened out.Optional and consented video introductions, working style and proof of skill from candidates themselves mean strong people from non-traditional paths aren't lost to a CV filter.
A recorded reason, every time.Every advance or pass is scored to the brief, an auditable, defensible trail, never gut feel from an agency.
Measured, never tokenised.We widen and de-bias the funnel and report representation honestly. Merit against the brief always decides who we shortlist for clients.
