Competing for people through the payment experience.
Amit describes using prepaid cards in Canada to make daily payments to IT contractors working through his recruitment business and to his own salespeople.
The idea was to make the payment experience part of the offer to workers. Daily access to earnings was intended to help recruit sales talent and retain people already working with the business.
A workforce need connected with a financial solution.
The initiative connects two recurring parts of Amit’s work: recruiting people and finding practical ways to support the financial side of an operation. In this case, the payment method became another way to differentiate the working relationship.
The historical collection includes correspondence relating to Vector Card Services. The original financing correspondence is preserved privately, separate from the account of how the cards were used.
A historical approach, with relevance to today’s conversations.
This chapter shows how a recruitment challenge could lead to a broader operating idea. The aim was not simply to find people, but to consider what would make the opportunity attractive and the ongoing relationship worth keeping.
It is historical experience, not an offer of a current prepaid-card or daily-pay program. A new workforce arrangement would need its own scope, providers and terms.
