Barcelona-based startup TravelPerk says it hires some 50 people every month as the company scales up. Founded in 2015, the company provides corporate travel software. CEO Avi Meir plans to take the total number of staff to nearly 600 by the end of 2020 from just 150 in early 2018.The urge to get the best talent is key to TravelPerk's growth plans but the competition is intense.
"Numbers like this make it tempting to cut corners and take chances with new hires. But, when you consider the bigger picture, having someone join who isn't a good technical or cultural fit and having to let that person go and then restart the process is actually much more time consuming and probably more expensive, this is why we insist on keeping our process as thorough as possible.
