How Impulso has been helping Stone become the leading financial solution platform for entrepreneurs

Stone

In the market for over nine years, Stone is considered one of the leading companies for voucher, debit, and credit card payment intermediation.

If you are used to using cards for your purchases, you have probably already used Stone's green card reader, as it serves over 600,000 clients across all regions of Brazil!

Its units are located in the states of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Curitiba, but the Fintech has more than 300 hubs spread throughout the country. With over 6,000 employees, it is a publicly traded institution with an approximate market value of US$16 billion.

Consistency
in Growth

With the aim of becoming the leading financial platform for entrepreneurs, Stone needed to rapidly expand its teams to execute an increasing number of technology projects. Given the significant challenge of hiring qualified tech professionals, Stone sought the support of Impulso in 2019 to address this challenge.

Since then, Impulso has been expanding Stone's various technology teams on different fronts of work, enabling the company to continue growing consistently without compromising technical quality and qualified professionals.

Scaling with skilled professionals

Like many companies aiming to expand their teams while preserving service quality, Stone had concerns about external professionals might not have the necessary cultural fit and hard skills for the challenges ahead.

The Team Building Process

Following the Team Assembly, which involves analyzing all interested individuals, conducting multiple interviews and selections, providing a kick-off for professionals, and offering ramp-up support, Impulso initiated Continuous Management. This involves maintaining close communication with all individuals and teams to support them through the challenges they encounter and ensure their ongoing growth and engagement with Stone.

BEGINNING AND RAMP-UP

Kickoff is done, and the work officially begins. During the first weeks, we monitor the ramp-up and make adjustments as necessary.

Taking another step towards the future!

And there is so much more to accomplish! With the acquisition of Linx, Stone has moved closer to becoming the world's largest financial solutions platform and establishing itself as the leading partner for entrepreneurs.

Following this acquisition, we have already opened over 20 opportunities and Impulso is honored to continue being part of this growth!

Result of a
Perfect Fit

With Impulso implementing various Communication Management, Career Development, One on One Follow-up, and Continuous Training strategies, individuals remain engaged, processes and tasks unfold with greater smoothness, turnover stays under control, and Stone's growth occurs in a manageable manner.

The process used to allocate professionals has been so successful that 80% of individuals have an excellent technical and cultural fit, and the average turnover per year is only 10%, nearly 5 times lower than the market average.

Another noteworthy fact is that Impulsers perform so well that some are incorporated, such as Impulser Daniele Pereira Freitas, a senior developer, who continues to work at Stone.
