Maintaining in-house AML, compliance and data protection programmes is complex: qualified people are scarce, rules change and costs add up. Depending on your case, we source candidates for your management to interview, or provide the role from our own team. We work in Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Czechia, Switzerland and Canada, and can combine recruitment, outsourced roles, a local office and day-to-day team management in one coordinated setup. You get a local compliance team built for the requirements of your stage.

AML compliance recruitment: frequently asked questions
What is the difference between an MLRO and a CCO?
The MLRO is a specialised role focused on AML: monitoring for suspicious activity, reporting it and keeping AML policies and training current. The CCO is a generalist who covers all regulatory areas, including AML, data protection and consumer protection, and liaises with regulators.
Can you recruit for direct employment?
Yes. We source qualified candidates and present them for interviews with your management. You employ the person you choose; internal candidates can be included in the selection.
Which roles can be outsourced?
It depends on the jurisdiction and the regulator. Under GDPR, for example, the DPO can be provided under a service contract. For regulated roles on a fractional to full-time basis, see Compliance officer outsourcing.
Can you set up a local office?
Yes. We can set up a local physical office to meet substance requirements and manage the team day to day, with ongoing training and reports to your management.
In which countries do you work?
MAXCORP sources candidates for direct employment, and offers optional outsourcing, in Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Czechia, Switzerland and Canada.
Do you provide KYC or KYT software?
No. We supply people, management and training, not software infrastructure. Our teams can work in the KYC and monitoring tools you already use.
What experience do candidates have?
Most of our candidates have at least 5 years of industry experience and higher education, and in some cases a background at a regulator.
How does the process start?
With an introductory call to understand your needs. You then receive an indicative budget and a solution proposal with a preliminary roadmap.
