Background

Visa planned to rapidly establish an Innovation Hub in Berlin. By the kick-off in April 2025, three key positions—Principal Product Manager, UX Designer, and Staff Product Designer—needed to be filled in a very short time frame. Top talent with international payment expertise and local ties to Berlin was sought.

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 contact, personal trust, and a clearly structured selection process minimized unnecessary recruiting “noise.”

Outcome

Within just six weeks, three contracts were signed—45% faster than the company average. 32 candidates were presented, 25 were interviewed, and four received offers. After six months, all new hires remain in the team and actively contribute to the Berlin Hub.

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