Fintech: One Senior Hire to Unblock a Stalled Payments Rollout
A permanent Lead Backend Engineer, matched from the Talent Ecosystem in under three weeks.
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.
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.
