Job Boards Are Not a Silver Bullet

In payments and fintech, hiring is competitive — especially for leadership roles. But too many companies still rely on the old “post and pray” approach: toss up a job description and hope the right candidate shows up.

Here’s the truth: they rarely do.

Why “Posting and Praying” Fails

• 🔍 Top talent isn’t job hunting — they’re being courted
• 📉 High-quality candidates avoid job boards cluttered with generic listings
• ⏳ Time-to-fill drags while the role remains open and revenue stalls
• 🤝 Cultural fit is harder to assess without proactive vetting

Executive-level candidates don’t apply — they’re recruited. And in a field like payments, where niche expertise matters, you can’t afford to wait around.

What Actually Works

A modern hiring strategy includes:
✅ Targeted outreach to passive talent
✅ Industry-specific executive search expertise
✅ Candidate screening based on more than just a resume
✅ A recruiter who understands both the role and the sector
