About Priority
Priority is a financial technology company that integrates payments, banking, and treasury services into a single open commerce platform. Founded in 2005 and based in Alpharetta, Georgia, they've grown from a payment processor into a full-fledged financial business partner, recognized on Forbes' list of America's Most Successful Small-Cap Companies, CNBC's World's Top Fintechs, and TIME's America's Growth Leaders.
What stood in the way
Priority operates at the intersection of payments, banking, and treasury technology, a space that demands talent with both technical depth and the ability to drive impact in a complex, fast-moving organization. Finding people who truly fit MX Build's culture of challenging tradition — not just meeting the job description — was slow and inconsistent with traditional recruiting.
How Mappa solved it
Mappa's behavioral analysis gave Priority a reliable signal beyond credentials. Each candidate was vetted for how they actually operate, make decisions, and handle ambiguity, not just what their résumé says. The result was a consistent, efficient hiring process that matched the standard MX Build needed to keep moving.
A measurable behavior layer
With Mappa, Priority has a consistent, reliable path to the talent their business demands. As Jammil Handal, Executive Vice President of MX Build, said: "Mappa has been our go-to partner for finding high-quality talent. Their process is smart, efficient, and consistently delivers the right fit for Priority's specific needs."
