Vid SEIA vi började inte med möjligt, vi började med vad vi behövde och arbetade tills vi skapade nya möjligheter. Våra lösningar förändrar i grunden hur efterlevnad av handelsregler utförs genom toppmoderna instrumentpaneler för riskhantering baserade på avancerad dataanalys. Våra verktyg är resultatet av innovation genom samarbete mellan olika branscher för att uppnå ett instrumentpanelsystem som ger transparens som aldrig förr, användbara användarcentrerade mätvärden och, vilket är kritiskt, hantering av SEIA:s Risk RedFlags i realtid. Vi kan integrera med system från hela organisationen (t.ex. handelshanteringssystem, screeningprogramvara eller andra efterlevnadsprogram) för att säkerställa att du får "bra data" på ett ställe för de insikter du vill ha och den risksäkring du behöver.

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 och 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.
