How Homestrong Recruitment Doubled Senior Placement Revenue with a Custom React Site and Fintech SEO Strategy
A bespoke React website with live FX/crypto market data integration for a TradFi-meets-DeFi specialist recruitment firm — transforming a hidden gem into the go-to agency for C-suite fintech hiring across the US, UK, and Canada.
Measurable Results
Client Background & Challenge
Homestrong Recruitment places senior talent at the intersection of traditional finance and digital assets — FX sales desks, payment service providers, and fintech platforms across the US, UK, and Canada. Operating in a hyper-niche, they needed a website that immediately communicated expertise to CFOs and Heads of Talent at banks and fintech unicorns.
A generic WordPress template was destroying their positioning. Finance and fintech decision-makers visiting the site bounced within 47 seconds — the design communicated "small generalist agency," not "specialist TradFi/DeFi recruitment partner." Zero SEO presence meant they were invisible for any fintech hiring query.
- ✕Average session duration of 0:48 — hiring managers left before reading service descriptions
- ✕Zero Page 1 rankings for any fintech recruitment keyword in US, UK, or Canadian markets
- ✕No Organization or JobPosting schema — completely invisible in AI-powered job searches
- ✕Multi-region intent (US/UK/CA) served from one URL with no geo-targeting — hreflang absent
- ✕No content hub — competitors ranking for "fintech sales recruitment" had 15+ blog posts; Homestrong had zero
Our Strategy & Execution Plan
- Designed and built a custom React site with Framer Motion animations and a live XRP/XDC/Stellar market ticker — immediately communicating TradFi/DeFi expertise.
- Multi-region architecture (US/CA/UK) built into a single React codebase with hreflang — no duplicate content, full geo-targeting.
- Lighthouse score optimised to 98/100 — sub-0.8s load on all regions.
- Built a 12-article content hub targeting senior hiring decision-makers: "how to hire FX sales talent," "fintech compliance recruitment," "DeFi talent acquisition guide."
- Organization + JobPosting schema implemented across all live roles.
- Targeted 22 high-intent fintech recruitment keywords across three regional markets simultaneously.
- Guest posts placed on FinTech Futures and Payments Cards & Mobile — high-DA backlinks in the exact publications target clients read.
- Case study pages built for past placements (anonymised) showing hiring manager ROI data.
- Employer inquiry form redesigned with qualification questions — reduced low-quality inquiries, raised average deal quality.

"The website OVEXBEE built positions us exactly where we need to be — above the noise of generalist recruiters. Within weeks of launch, we had inbound calls from heads of talent at firms we had been trying to cold-call for months."
