The CEO of one of Europe's fastest growing startups says hiring is his most important job. Here's why he calls every reference and has an 8-hour interview process.

This story requires our BI Prime membership. To read the full article,TravelPerk, a travel software company based in Barcelona, is hiring up to 50 people a month after raising more than $100 million in a year.

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.
