You've decided to build a Fintech product. Now comes the hard part: hiring the right team.
In this episode, I sit down with Morten Laufer from Nova Search, a Hamburg-based Fintech and embedded finance recruiter who specialises in helping non-financial brands build their teams. We discuss the real challenges of breaking into Fintech as an outsider and the costly mistakes companies make when hiring their first Fintech talent.
What We Cover:
- Why product managers should be your first hire and how to evaluate them
- The compliance gap: the critical role most companies overlook
- How to convince top Fintech talent to leave the bubble and join your company
- Compensation strategies that work without breaking your salary structure
- The #1 risk that scares candidates away (and how to address it)
- Retention tactics: keeping your team motivated beyond salary
