Background

Visa planned to swiftly establish an Innovation Hub in Berlin. At the kick-off in April 2025, three key positions – Principal Product Manager, UX Designer, and Staff Product Designer – were to be filled in a very short time. They sought top talent with international payment expertise and local presence in Berlin.

Our Approach

With seven years of experience in payment and fintech recruiting and access to our own database of over 6,000 qualified specialists and executives, we were able to source efficiently and immediately. Direct engagement, personal trust, and a clearly structured selection process minimized unnecessary recruiting «noise».

Outcome

Within just six weeks, three contracts were concluded – 45% faster than the company average. 32 candidates were presented, 25 interviewed, and four were offered a position. Six months later, all new hires remain in the team and actively contribute to shaping the Berlin Hub.

“Unbelievably fast and relevant. No noise, just professional expertise.”
— Head of Product, Visa
