Simply said, our default is hiring junior and providing development and growth opportunities from within. Many of our senior leaders joined the company in junior roles and have grown into new positions over time.
We trust people who are just getting started in their careers with a lot of responsibility and we know that they will make mistakes as they learn how to succeed in their new roles. For our bottom-up hiring approach to work, we put an organization-wide focus on ongoing learning and continuous mentorship.
When you join the Helcim team, we want you to feel invested in the work you're doing and the impact you have. Part of this is trusting you with access to information so that you understand how the business is doing, why we're making decisions and how everything (including the work that you do!) is working together to achieve our big goals.
Our core values are the foundation behind our decisions, actions, ideas, and thoughts. They form our identity and keep us connected - we stick to what we think is right over what is easy and, as a result, we've attracted like-minded people full of passion, integrity, and talent.
We believe that the right decisions are usually the harder ones. We embrace the challenge and endure when others quit. We choose what is difficult and make ourselves resilient so we can persevere.
We are stronger because of our collective passion, intelligence, and fellowship. We believe great teams can accomplish great things, and we ask the very best of each other. Together we create our future.
We earn trust by striving to be our best selves and lifting those around us. We recognize that trust is hard to earn, easy to lose, and tested continuously over time, so we make trust our way of life.
We build things ourselves, and we build them well. We use technology and our creativity to overcome challenges that would seem beyond our size. We invent our way out of problems, improve what is already there, and we never stop dreaming of better.
When a company fails to take care of its people it will ultimately fail their customers and itself. At Helcim, putting our team first makes them better equipped to serve our merchants, and this is how we're going to become the world's most loved payments company.
