Our recent collaboration is with a game development studio that focuses on creating interactive experiences for children. Their innovative and engaging digital products spark creativity, imagination, and playfulness, providing young users with a unique and entertaining learning platform.

Challenge

The game studio and its two sister studios experienced significant difficulties in filling numerous hard-to-find roles within their organizations. The market for skilled candidates was highly competitive, with many companies vying for the same talent pool. Additionally, the studios had a wide range of positions to fill, adding to the complexity of the recruitment process. To address these challenges, the company decided to employ Agile Search recruiters in-house.

Solution

To overcome these challenges, the company employed two Tech Recruiters who divided the workload and focused on identifying and attracting highly qualified candidates. The recruiters worked from the client’s office, enabling them to better understand the teams, products, and company culture. This proximity allowed them to establish strong working relationships with the recruiters and stakeholder managers, which proved invaluable during the recruitment process.
The talent acquisition specialists utilized a combination of sourcing strategies to identify potential candidates. They leveraged popular platforms such as LinkedIn, GitHub, and Stack Overflow, as well as specialized tools like Amazing Hiring and Semble. By casting a wide net across various channels, they maximized their chances of finding suitable candidates.
In addition to sourcing, the recruiters also emphasized employer branding to make the company more attractive to potential candidates. They actively showcased the company’s unique culture, mission, and projects on social media platforms, highlighting the exciting opportunities available within the organization. This approach helped generate interest and enthusiasm among talented professionals who were seeking new opportunities.
Once potential candidates were identified, the recruiters sent personalized messages to establish initial contact. These messages highlighted the candidates’ relevant skills and experiences, demonstrating that they had been carefully reviewed. The recruiters engaged in thorough interviews to assess the candidates’ technical abilities, cultural fit, and overall suitability for the roles.
If a candidate successfully passed the interview stage, the recruiters presented them to the hiring team, providing detailed insights and observations from the interviews. This collaborative approach ensured that hiring decisions were well-informed and aligned with the company’s requirements.

Results

The implementation of Agile Search tech recruiters yielded remarkable results for the game studio and its sister studios. By employing recruiters who worked in-house and had an in-depth understanding of the teams and products, the company attracted high-profile candidates who possessed the desired skill sets and fit well with the company culture.
The company successfully hired high-profile individuals who brought valuable expertise to the organization. These new hires played a crucial role in advancing the studios’ projects and contributed to the continued growth and success of the company.
