Choose the right perspective
Match the company's stage and footprint to yours, since HR at a global payments group differs from HR at a regional processor or a growth-stage card platform. Also consider the person's earlier roles, such as HR business partnering, talent development or communications, since that background shapes how they approach a people question.
