Case Study: a leading gaming company fills 97 roles in 12 months with IQTalent

How a newly formed gaming company was able to find top talent by leveraging their partnership with IQTalent to fill 100 niche roles across three studios within one year

IQTalent worked with a leading gaming company that had recently formed as an umbrella organization for three studios creating franchise-based games. As the company scaled rapidly in a competitive market, it faced cyclical hiring needs, limited company history for candidates to evaluate, and spikes of up to 25 open roles across multiple studios that needed to be filled within 30 to 40 days.

IQTalent provided on-demand sourcing, research, recruiting, and employment branding support, effectively acting as the company’s virtual talent acquisition team. Using a flexible billable-hours model and Diamond Recruiting, IQTalent filled 97 roles in 12 months and more than 100 hires over the engagement, with time to hire averaging 30 days. The company also reduced hiring costs by 70%, saving over $1 million, with average cost per hire of about $7,300.
