How Mappa became Priority’s go-to partner for high-quality talent
Priority combines payables, merchant services, and banking and treasury solutions into one commerce engine. With more than 1,000 employees and nearly $1 billion in revenue, the bar for talent is high, and a misfit hire costs more than most. Mappa helped Priority build a hiring process that consistently delivers the right fit without slowing the business down.

The challenge
Priority operates where payments, banking, and treasury technology meet, a space that requires people with deep technical skill and the ability to drive impact in a complex, fast-moving organization. Its MX Build team looks for people who challenge tradition, not only people who meet the job description, and traditional recruiting was slow and inconsistent at finding them.

Our solution
Mappa’s behavioral analysis gave Priority a reliable signal beyond credentials. Each candidate was assessed on how they operate, make decisions, and handle ambiguity, not only on what their résumé says. The result was a consistent, efficient process that matched the standard the MX Build team needed to keep moving.
Key results
Priority now has a consistent, reliable path to the talent its business demands. Jammil Handal, Executive Vice President of MX Build, put it this way:
“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.”

FAQ
The science is complex, but the answers aren’t. If yours isn’t here, let’s talk.
How long before I get candidates for a role?
Within 72 hours you’ll receive a shortlist of top-fit candidates based on their behavior alignment, experience, and communication style.
What if none of them feel right?
We’ll keep working. We recalibrate based on your feedback and deliver a refreshed shortlist until you find the right match. You don’t pay until you hire.
Is there a minimum commitment?
No. Try us on a single role. Month-to-month or one-time fee, your choice.
How do you ensure cultural fit?
Behavioral voice analysis maps how a person actually communicates, decides, and collaborates — the signals that drive real cultural fit, not the surface ones a résumé can show.
Can I reject anyone from the shortlist?
Absolutely. The shortlist is a recommendation, not an obligation. You move forward only with people you’re excited about.
