Values Value was approached to help hire an HR Generalist for a client — a growing game development company working on casual games for mobile, PC, and browser platforms. The position was remote and required a strong cultural match, solid HR experience in the game industry, and excellent communication skills.
Project: Casual for Mobile/PC/Browser
Desired Candidate Profile
We were looking for an HR professional who could independently manage key HR functions and integrate smoothly into an already well-formed team culture. The ideal candidate needed to bring:
- Previous experience in HR roles in the game industry or tech sector
- Deep understanding of HR processes and team dynamics
- Strong communication and organizational skills
- Cultural alignment with the client’s team values
- A proactive and empathetic mindset
What Helped to Fill the Position
This case is a great example of the power of an active, well-maintained candidate network. At Values Value, we don’t just build a database — we build relationships. We stay in close contact with talent in the games industry, tracking their growth, changes in skills, and career aspirations. This allows us to move quickly when the right opportunity arises.
In this case, it all aligned perfectly. A candidate reached out to us to share that she was open to new opportunities. Shortly afterward, we received a hiring request from a client — and the role was a perfect match for her experience and expectations.
While we built a funnel of 54 candidates and conducted 3 screening interviews, the first candidate we recommended turned out to be the ideal match. The client was enthusiastic about her from the first meeting, made an offer promptly, and the candidate accepted. The entire process — from brief to accepted offer — took just 10 working days.
We’re happy to share that the candidate has successfully passed her probation period and is now a fully integrated part of the client’s team. We wish both sides a productive and long-lasting partnership — and we’re proud to have helped them find each other.
What Made It Work
- A living, responsive network of professionals who trust us with their career plans
- Close, human-centered relationships with candidates and clients alike
- A deep understanding of both professional skills and cultural fit
- Fast, transparent communication throughout the process
