The Challenge

P.F's payments integration had stalled for two months with no senior owner. Before contacting GTEMAS, they spent six weeks trying to fill the role themselves: a local recruiter's shortlist fell through, and their own job-board postings drew applicants who could maintain an existing API but had never led a third-party payments integration. With no vendor or local candidate able to fill the gap, they needed a different route to a qualified hire.

Payments integration stalled, no senior owner.
A local recruiter and direct job-board postings, six weeks combined, produced no qualified candidate.
Needed someone who could own the role permanently, not a contractor.

The Solution

P.F needed a permanent hire, not another contractor rotation. Because the role only required matching against candidates already assessed in the Talent Ecosystem, GTEMAS didn't need to source and screen from scratch - within days, three Tech Masters with verified Skill Profiles already covering payments-gateway integrations were ready to interview. P.F interviewed all three and made the final call themselves. Onboarding: GTEMAS supported offer negotiation and the transition once the candidate accepted, then stepped back - the engineer joined P.F's own team and payroll directly.

Impact & Achievements

The payments integration shipped six weeks after the new hire started. P.F's engineering lead noted the biggest difference was not speed alone - every candidate they interviewed had already been assessed on the exact skill the role needed, so the interviews were about team fit, not technical screening.
