Make talent quality your leading analytic with skills-based hiring solution.
The payments industry is under constant pressure to innovate, secure transactions, and deliver seamless digital experiences. For one of the world’s largest digital payment enterprises—headquartered in Silicon Valley—scaling tech hiring was a critical challenge.
Despite its global reputation, the company’s hiring process was broken. Each hiring manager defined roles differently, creating inconsistent workflows and misaligned job descriptions. Scheduling technical interviews often dragged on for three weeks, leading top candidates to drop out for faster offers elsewhere. Outdated recruiting systems made matters worse—emails went to spam, scheduling was rigid, and interviewers lacked domain expertise to properly evaluate specialized roles.
This fintech giant needed fintech hiring solutions that could align job requirements, speed up the hiring funnel, and ensure talent quality across high-volume technical roles.
In the competitive fintech space, engineers must deliver more than just code—they must safeguard customer trust and scale systems to handle billions of transactions. The company needed to hire for highly specialized skills across backend and mobile development, combined with professionalism and integrity.
Glider AI helped the company define and evaluate the critical skills needed across high-volume tech roles:
| Skill Requirement | Why It Matters | How Glider AI Addressed It |
|---|---|---|
| Python Development | Backbone for scalable, secure financial systems. | Real-world coding assessments validated backend proficiency. |
| iOS Development | Core to delivering secure, user-friendly mobile payments. | iOS project-based tasks tested practical coding and debugging skills. |
| Android Development | Essential for global mobile access, especially in emerging markets. | AI-enabled app simulations assessed Android development skills. |
| Problem-Solving & Adaptability | Engineers must think critically under pressure in high-stakes environments. | AI-driven situational tests measured problem-solving approaches. |
| Professionalism & Integrity | Trust is non-negotiable in financial services. | AI proctoring and ID verification ensured candidate integrity. |
Recognizing that their traditional approach wasn’t sustainable, the company adopted Glider AI to rebuild the hiring funnel from the ground up. The goal wasn’t just speed—it was quality at scale.
Glider AI streamlined the entire candidate journey: sourcing, screening, skill validation, and scheduling. Its AI-powered sourcing engine quickly matched candidates to niche roles in Python, iOS, and Android, reducing the time recruiters spent chasing resumes. Through AI chat, candidates engaged in natural, human-like conversations that gauged their interest, confirmed availability, and aligned expectations on salary—all before a recruiter even stepped in.
For technical validation, Glider deployed AI-enabled assessments replicating real-world coding tasks, while AI proctoring and ID verification ensured fairness and eliminated fraud. Once qualified, candidates were automatically scheduled for interviews, reducing delays and cutting out the frustration of back-and-forth emails. What once took weeks now took days.
The impact was immediate and measurable. Within the first hiring drive, the company reduced time-to-interview from three weeks to just 48 hours. Recruiters who once waited on scheduling bottlenecks could now focus on engaging top-tier talent. The company hired eight engineers in 14 days, a pace previously unimaginable.
By keeping candidates engaged through automated chat and assessments, drop-offs and no-shows declined sharply. Candidates reported a smoother, more professional experience, which improved the company’s employer brand in an increasingly competitive talent market. Most importantly, hiring decisions were now grounded in objective skill validation, giving leaders confidence that every new hire could contribute from day one.
For a global fintech leader, technology is more than just infrastructure—it’s the foundation of customer trust. Every line of code, every app update, and every system integration depends on having the right talent in place.
By embracing Glider AI, this company transformed hiring from a slow, inconsistent process into a scalable, skill-first recruitment engine. What once felt like a broken funnel became a competitive advantage—delivering faster hiring cycles, stronger candidate engagement, and measurable improvements in talent quality.
In the high-stakes world of digital payments, Glider AI helped this enterprise ensure that every engineer hired was ready to build, scale, and safeguard the future of global commerce.
