The Cost of a Bad Hire: The Importance of Strong Values (Cultural Principles) in the Interview Process
Hiring the wrong employee can be a costly mistake for any company. Not only does it result in decreased productivity and morale, but it can also lead to increased turnover, missed opportunities, and damage to the company's reputation. The cost of a bad hire can be staggering, and it is crucial for organisations to take steps to minimize this risk.
Here at Paysend, we made a conscious effort to ensure that not only did we embed our Paysend 7 Cultural Principles (see below) into the business but to integrate them into the evaluation process when candidates are interviewing for roles within the organisation.
Having worked within the Recruitment / Talent Acquisition field for a number of years, I've witnessed on numerous occasions when Hiring Managers have introduced candidates to the recruitment team and put pressure on individuals to push them through the process (“I worked with them previously and they were a great person”, “They will bring loads of business to our company” etc). Here at Paysend, every candidate introduced is evaluated by the Talent Acquisition team against our 7 Cultural Principles prior to moving the candidate to the next stage of the process, ensuring that the next Paysender is exactly that - A true Paysender. The key - We're not afraid to push back if the candidate doesn't demonstrate the right Paysend principles.
We have been keen to have this process in place to make sure that these individuals who are in the interview process and potentially joining Paysend have demonstrated positive attributes against our principles, so that everyone internally are aligned and set up for success within the business.
Finally, it is important to consider the long-term impact of hiring a candidate who does not align with the company's values. While a candidate may seem like a good fit based on their experience and qualifications, if their values are not aligned with the company's values, the potential for conflict and disengagement is high.
Ultimately, the cost of a bad hire can be significant and is something that all organisations should strive to avoid. By focusing on values during the interview process, organisations can reduce the risk of hiring the wrong employee and increase the likelihood of hiring someone who will be a positive and productive member of the team. Strong values create a positive work environment, increase employee engagement, and drive success for the company.

Here's the short answer: yes, you can use a credit card to get money into someone's bank account abroad. "Credit card to bank transfer" means exactly that — you fund the transfer with your credit card, and your recipient receives it in their bank account. Or on their card, in their wallet, or as cash to collect, depending on where they are.
The card and the bank account do different jobs. Your card pays for the transfer. A provider like Paysend then pays the money out through local systems on the other end. It's one flow, and it takes about a minute in the app.
One thing worth knowing before you start: a credit card is usually the most expensive way to fund a transfer. Some issuers treat it as a cash advance, and credit tends to carry higher payment fees than debit. You'll always see the full cost, exchange rate included, before you confirm anything. What follows is: the ways your money can arrive, what each one costs, how fast it gets there, and the cheaper routes worth checking first.
Щомісяця тисячі людей, які працюють у Чехії, надсилають частину своєї зарплати додому. Багато з них — українці, які підтримують свої родини в Україні. А звичний спосіб переказувати гроші ускладнює те, що мало б бути простим: банківські перекази, для яких потрібні IBAN і SWIFT-код, комісії, про які стає відомо лише після відправлення грошей, і кілька днів очікування, поки рідні вдома розраховують на цей переказ.
Павел Штіх уже кілька років допомагає своїм читачам розв'язувати саме цю проблему. Він співзасновник і головний фінансовий редактор Moneyo.cz — незалежної чеської платформи, яка порівнює сервіси грошових переказів і брокерів та розповідає про альтернативні інвестиції, — а також амбассадор Paysend. Він особисто тестує все, що рекомендує, пояснює складні речі простою мовою та пропонує своїм читачам ексклюзивні бонуси. Ми запитали його, як з'явився Moneyo, хто його читає і чому він обрав Paysend.
