“Richard at Invicta Resource Solutions brings a wealth of experience and deep expertise in regulatory capital delivery. His understanding of regulatory frameworks, combined with a pragmatic and results-driven approach, sets him apart. He can add real value to match the right talent to highly specialised roles.”

“As someone who has worked in recruitment for many years, I can say that Richard Barber stands out immediately. His regulatory expertise is far beyond what you typically see in our industry, and it shows in the quality of his candidate assessments and the precision of his shortlists. Richard is genuinely warm and supportive with candidates, creating a smooth and transparent experience for them. Clients trust him because he builds real relationships and understands their regulatory challenges at a granular level. He’s a recruiter who brings both credibility and care.”

“I have worked on numerous regulatory projects with Richard – it’s clear he has a deep appreciation of the skill sets needed. Due to continual change (from either regulatory requirements or activity within banks) there is continual movement in both role requirements and availability of well matched skilled individuals. Too many recruitment firms are simply scanning words such as “COREP” and matching simply based on that. Invicta Financial Resources addresses the need for a technically specialised recruiter in regulatory reporting.”

“Throughout the numerous regulatory projects including COREP and BASEL 3 I have worked on with Richard, his innate understanding of requirements and how to implement them always continued to impress me.  He has brought this expertise over to the regulatory recruitment sector and I believe Invicta Financial Resources will add significant value to any regulatory project.”

“Richard Barber brings a level of regulatory understanding that is rare in recruitment. His decades of experience in financial regulation mean he genuinely understands the pressures, nuances, and skill sets that firms need. Richard is consistently supportive and approachable with candidates, taking the time to guide them through the process with clarity and confidence. Clients value him for his honesty, insight, and the strong relationships he builds. He is a trusted partner who delivers both expertise and integrity.”
