Europe’s financial technology startups are on hiring mode, fighting each other – and the incumbents – in what one executive described as a “war for talent.” 

Payments company GoCardless Ltd, which employs 170 people in London, will open a Paris office in February, said chief product and technology officer Carlos Gonzalez-Cadenas.
