Carrying
too much?
Being a senior manager is stressful, to say the least. You’re juggling team priorities, targets, compliance, product launches, budgets... and on top of it all, hiring.
Q1 is often the toughest. The holiday energy fades, the year’s targets loom, and every decision feels urgent. Some days, it feels like it’s all on your shoulders.
This constant stress, exhaustion and high-stakes decisions affect focus, decision-making, and even your ability to switch off at the end of the day.
Research shows that managers are 36% more likely to report feeling burned out than non-managers. And one of the biggest contributors? Hiring.
It’s critical to the business, but it’s rarely your core responsibility. Yet it still lands with you.
Chronic pressure accumulates, affecting your energy and long-term health. Overtime, it raises cortisol, disrupts sleep, weakens immunity and increases cardiovascular risk.
An 18-year long study even found that people exposed to high job strain had an 83% higher risk of developing atrial fibrillation (AFib), the most common form of heart arrhythmia.
In payments and fintech, the stakes are already high and hiring shouldn’t be another source of stress layered on top.
With 18+ years of expertise in fintech recruitment, we take the hiring process off your shoulders, so you can focus on what matters the most: scaling the business, leading your team and delivering results, without carrying the operational weight of hiring.
