Founder note

Built from inside the market.

Signal Point Search is led by Arjun Chandel, who spent 15 years working across financial services, risk, clearing, technology change and systems delivery before moving into search.

That background shapes how the firm operates. The aim is to speak credibly with hiring managers, understand the substance of specialist roles, and represent candidates with more care than a volume-led agency model.
