Challenge

This project wasn’t about spot hiring; it was about strategically assembling four highly functional teams, each with specific roles, skills, and a shared cultural alignment. The challenges were numerous: the complexity of the roles, the tight deadlines, the holiday season, and the need for precise coordination across multiple locations.

This project wasn’t about filling positions quickly. It was about building a highly specialized, functional team for key leadership and technical roles. The challenge was not only to fill senior-level positions but to ensure that each candidate had the right expertise, leadership skills, and cultural fit to integrate seamlessly into the organization.

This was a complex, functional hiring project where we needed to build a team with very specific design expertise. The challenge wasn’t just about filling positions quickly, but about finding the right fit for highly specialized roles.

  • Rare skillset: We needed to find top-tier design talent for hard-to-fill roles such as Art Directors and 2D/3D Artists.
  • High urgency: The tight timeline required us to work quickly while maintaining quality.
  • Cultural fit: Along with technical skills, we had to ensure candidates would integrate seamlessly into the client’s culture and existing teams.
  • Cross-functional collaboration: Each role had to complement the others, ensuring that the final design teams were well-rounded and ready for long-term collaboration.

How we achieved the result

What tools and approaches we used

To meet these challenges, we applied a strategic approach tailored to the specific needs of the project:

  • In-depth role analysis: We worked closely with the client to define detailed role specifications and key requirements for each position.
  • Targeted candidate sourcing: We focused on leveraging both our network and specialized platforms to find design professionals with the right skill set and experience.
  • ICP Development: We created Ideal Candidate Profiles for each design role to ensure that only the most suitable candidates were considered.
  • Streamlined process: We maintained a strict timeline, ensuring that the hiring process moved efficiently and that candidates were onboarded without delay.
  • Continuous feedback loop: Close collaboration with the client allowed us to refine our approach and continually improve candidate selection.
