Finding employees with hybrid skillsets
As an agri-fintech start-up focused on creating social impact, Samunnati was constantly finding ways to help traditionally underserved smallholder farmers better access working capital and financial services.
- Needing to recruit for non-traditional job descriptions that often required hybrid skills across financial, market linkage, and advisory services
- Hiring good talent that could grow with the company as it accelerated growth
- Expanding into new locations and enhancing productivity measures
