This time, at Values Value, we were looking for a Unity developer for a small London-based mobile game studio. The company was hiring in Dnipro, Ukraine or outside of Ukraine (EU). A deep understanding of Android and iOS development along with knowledge of C# and Unity development were key points in the candidate selection process.
Project: Mobile, Casual, Puzzle

We were looking for a candidate with extensive experience with Unity UI (Canvas), Zenject, asynchronous/awaitable patterns, unit testing and more. Was able to implement and optimize products for iOS and Android platforms effectively, accelerate and facilitate product development. Deep understanding of GOF patterns, architectural patterns, and software development best practices
Also a real-world experience in game development using Unity and C# for 3+ years was one of the key requirements .
Challenges
The client company – a startup unknown on the market, this added difficulty in presenting a company to the candidates. Moreover we faced difficulties in finding candidates due to limitations in salary range and specific hiring location.
What helped to fill the position
The large database of Unity developers at Values Value, combined with a well-formulated vacancy description, appealing to potential candidates, led to a quick closure. Positive candidate response to the short test task (average completion time of 6 hours) was also a factor.
We conducted a high-quality sourcing and recruiting process, exploring different locations and selecting donor companies. Utilizing various sources like active searches, product and outsourcing companies, job portals, and recommendations from within the industry facilitated the process.
From the Values Value side, the process was owned by Dariia Tokar, Sourcer & Recruitment Consultant. Remarkable Work, Dariia!
