Recruiting people that will fit

The Company is not trying to grow fast. It recruits very slowly and only people that it is sure they will fit.

There are two main ways to be recruited.

The first one is to already be known by the Company founders or main employees. I am one of those. I have know the Company founders for years before joining the Company.

The second one if from paid internships. The Company regularly have interns that get paid to do real work that will benefit the Company. During these internships that last several months, they are evaluated and if it appears that they will fit in the culture of the Company, they are proposed to join the Company.

Amazingly, the turnover is almost zero. In its more than 15 years of existence, only one person left the Company. This indicates how good the Company is for the people that work for it.
