Au SEIA nous n'avons pas commencé par le possible, nous avons commencé par ce dont nous avions besoin et nous avons travaillé jusqu'à ce que nous ayons créé de nouvelles possibilités. Nos solutions transforment fondamentalement la façon dont la conformité commerciale est effectuée grâce à des tableaux de bord de gestion des risques de pointe basés sur des analyses de données avancées. Nos outils sont le résultat d'une innovation par le biais d'une coopération entre les industries afin d'obtenir un système de tableau de bord qui offre une transparence sans précédent, des mesures exploitables centrées sur l'utilisateur et, surtout, la gestion des signaux d'alerte de SEIA en temps réel. Nous pouvons nous intégrer aux systèmes de votre organisation (tels que les systèmes de gestion des échanges, les logiciels de filtrage ou d'autres programmes de conformité) pour vous assurer que vous obtenez de "bonnes données" en un seul endroit pour les informations que vous souhaitez et l'assurance du risque dont vous avez besoin.

Leonid Group is a leading, international recruiter, specialising in trade and customs compliance, export controls, and sanctions recruitment at all levels, from Analyst to Global Head. 

 Leonid’s mission is to ‘redefine recruitment’ and it is doing this through an innovative approach which saves hiring managers hours on the recruitment process, all the while making it more efficient and enjoyable for everyone involved.  This is primarily thanks to two core services: Magic Month et LeonidLive. 

The ‘Magic Month’ methodology ensures clear timelines which they are accountable for delivering, removing any ambiguity in the hiring process and delivering results that are typically three times faster than the industry average. 

 Video shortlists – ‘LeonidLive’ – enable hiring managers and their colleagues to get a sense of each candidate’s personality and communication skills, before deciding whether or not to proceed. This method saves Leonid’s clients on average 10 hours per hire. 

 As well as trade compliance hiring, Leonid also specialise in the wider corporate governance sphere (encompassing Ethics & Compliance, Risk & Audit, Legal & Data Privacy, ESG & Sustainability and Forensic Accounting). 

 With offices in London, Barcelona and Cape Town, Leonid works internationally and has recruited in over 50 countries. The multi-lingual team are also subject matter experts, having gained deep knowledge of their specialist area though both study and extensive, focused experience.
