Background

Fintech companies operating in payment infrastructure need strong alignment between product development and financial operations.

As Paycord continued growing its payment processing platform, it needed to hire specialists who could support both product execution and financial accuracy. These roles were critical to maintaining platform development momentum while also ensuring reliable receivables processes in a fast-moving business environment.

To support this growth, the company needed a structured hiring process that would help identify strong candidates quickly without compromising on quality.

Challenges

Hiring in fintech requires candidates who can operate in environments where product performance, operational precision, and business scalability are closely connected.

Paycord needed to hire for two key roles with very different responsibilities. The Product Manager role required strong ownership, roadmap thinking, and the ability to work with platform-focused teams. The Accounts Receivable Specialist role required accuracy, financial process discipline, and the ability to support healthy cash flow operations.

Because both roles were important to business continuity and growth, the company needed a recruitment process that could evaluate each profile clearly and move efficiently in a competitive market.

High demand for experienced fintech product and finance specialists

Need for candidates who could support both platform growth and operational accuracy

Parallel hiring across product and finance functions

Requirement for structured and role-specific evaluation criteria

Competitive market for candidates with relevant domain experience

Solution

OnHires implemented a recruitment strategy tailored to Paycord’s fintech environment and hiring needs.

We began with role calibration sessions to define core expectations, key competencies, and evaluation criteria for each position. For the Product Manager role, the focus was on product ownership, prioritization, stakeholder communication, and experience with platform or API-driven environments. For the Accounts Receivable Specialist role, evaluation centered on financial accuracy, process management, reconciliation skills, and operational reliability.

We then launched targeted sourcing pipelines across product, fintech, and finance talent pools. Structured hiring workflows helped create more consistency in candidate evaluation, while weekly hiring operations ensured fast feedback and better alignment between stakeholders.

OnHires managed the process end to end, from sourcing and screening to offer coordination and onboarding support.

The result was a stronger foundation for continued scaling across both product execution and finance operations.
