About 

Swaps Monitor is a leading global financial data provider, specializing in critical time-sensitive information for financial markets. Founded in 1987, the company initially focused on interest rate swaps before expanding its offerings to include market holidays, trading hours, expiry dates, time zones, and economic events.  

With a global presence spanning four main offices in New York, London, Manila and New Delhi, Swaps Monitor serves major financial institutions worldwide by delivering meticulously verified data, allowing clients to navigate market complexities with precision and confidence.  

Challenge  

Swaps Monitor needed to support its global clients with real-time data and 24/7 service, which required a presence across multiple time zones. However, the company lacked the in-house expertise to manage multiple international operations, especially navigating the complex hiring and labor laws in diverse markets. 

“The challenge we face is how to effectively operate in these markets without having local expertise in regulations and the complexities involved in hiring within unfamiliar countries.”  
Julián Rodríguez, Managing Director at Swaps Monitor   

Swaps Monitor chose Atlas for our expertise and ability to navigate international markets, cost-efficiency, and customer-centric approach. The client needed a partner aligned with their values who could manage their global workforce needs without compromising on service or accuracy.   

Working with Atlas 

Atlas optimized Swaps Monitor’s global expansion by managing the complexities of local labor laws and regulations in each market. We helped Swaps Monitor to hire and onboard talent in regions like Manila, Delhi and Sydney, ensuring compliance every step of the way.  

With Atlas handling the details, Swaps Monitor could quickly scale operations, ensuring they had the right talent in place to maintain their 24/7 global data service and deliver exceptional customer support. 

Impact

Partnering with Atlas ensured compliance across Swaps Monitor’s international entities, creating a strong foundation for growth. With compliance handled, Swaps Monitor expanded its workforce by 20% across three regions (Manila, Delhi, and Sydney), enhancing data coverage and service for global clients. Atlas also reduced hiring costs, enabling the company to focus on expanding its product offerings and growing its business.  

The partnership significantly boosted operational efficiency and positioned the business to offer 24/7 support to its clients, with the possibility of scaling even further in the future. 

“We've been able to increase our workforce by at least 20%. Through Atlas, we hired around 11 people in three different cities and are looking to expand further.”
