Recruitment

Starting a new company entails a lot of challenges which include primarily hiring the best, the ambitious and the most reliable team members. Having previously started a company, I have recruited the best and the mediocre. Some we thought we were lucky but turned out to be simply incompetent. Or, initially we thought we hired a mediocre who later become a company superstar.

My management style is simple, I hire fast and fire fast. Those who made it are people I would say, far better and smarter than me. They earned my respect. Those who failed are more competent in other fields than myself, so they were better off working somewhere else.

Anyway, as AltPayNet embarks this stage, we are hiring members of the founding team. Right now, we have projects which we have to say NO due to lack of manpower. After all, we are after long-term partnership clients than earning quick bucks.

The positions are Product Manager and Junior Software Engineers for our Makati, Philippines prototyping office.
