Case Study: Riot Games improves recruiting with Datapeople

How Riot Games Is Getting Better at Recruiting

Riot Games, the global gaming company behind League of Legends, wanted to improve recruiting and make its job descriptions more effective, inclusive, and aligned with its player-first values. The team was looking for a better way to understand how language in job posts affected candidate response, and they adopted Datapeople’s purpose-built job description software to guide that effort.

With Datapeople, Riot Games gained in-app guidance and language analytics that helped recruiters remove bias-triggering phrases and improve job description quality. As a result, hard-work sentiment in engineering job descriptions dropped from nearly 40% in May 2019 to just 4% by early 2020, while team adoption and engagement increased through a gamified rollout that encouraged users to score as high as they could.
