Case Study: XTI cuts hiring time by 92% and eliminates training costs with Funifier gamification

XTI - Customer Case Study

XTI, a software factory in Brasília, Brazil, faced long hiring cycles and costly, low-engagement onboarding: recruiting and selecting developers took about two weeks, and paid online training was underutilized. To address this, XTI worked with Funifier (Funifier Gamification Solutions) to gamify its training program and accelerate recruitment and learning.

Funifier implemented a gamified learning platform that locked lessons until users earned grades, awarded points for video watch time with visible progress bars, and introduced technology-specific leaderboards. As a result, time to hire fell by 92% (from ~2 weeks to one day), training engagement rose by more than 1,200% (from two weeks to over six months), external candidates began completing training on their own, and XTI reported a 100% reduction in training costs for new hires. Funifier’s solution also drove viral interest and sustained participation across the workforce.
