Gameloft: Hire the world’s best talent in 30 countries? Game on!

Company

Considering Gameloft is the world’s largest publisher of mobile and video games, it’s not surprising to find out its profile is filled with some pretty astronomical numbers. With 3 million daily downloads, 140 million monthly users and 2016 sales of $256 million, Gameloft doesn’t do things on a small scale.

However, that’s not the end of Gameloft’s impressive haul of integers, as all this progress was made thanks to 6,000 employers in 48 offices in 30 countries. There’s barely a time zone without a Gameloft office.

“At the end of the day, it’s all about the data. Before using SmartRecruiters, we had poor visibility into recruitment activities in the many countries where we have offices. Now we can easily track jobs, applications, time-to-fill metrics and much more — plus easily analyze this data and present that analysis to our executive team.”

Challenges

Spread into diverse and myriad countries, Gameloft needed a way to ensure standardized recruitment processes across all its offices, while simultaneously allowing for local flexibility.

Unfortunately, the Applicant Tracking System that may have served Gameloft in its infancy wasn’t up to the task of hiring on a global AND localized scale. What’s more, a lengthy and unwieldy recruitment process could have been detering countless talented potential employees. As Gameloft HR Manager Romain Delebecque explains:

“Whether hiring a software architect in Romania or a game designer in Vietnam, we need to make sure that the application process is smooth and represents a company that the best developers in the world want to work for — in any office worldwide.”

That’s why, in 2016, Gameloft found a new solution: SmartRecruiters.

Solution

SmartRecruiters’ Talent Acquisition Platform provided the perfect response to the needs of a growing, global company. Here are just some of the ways how:

• SmartRecruiters is localized in 16 user languages and 35 candidate facing ones, allowing Gameloft’s diverse recruiters and candidates to communicate clearly and efficiently in their native languages.
• Clear and concise reporting, applicant tracking and data-backed metrics provides both executives and local recruiters with unprecedented visibility. No more lengthy email chains asking for updates and data, it’s all there on one dashboard. As Delebecque says, for a global recruiter “it’s all about the data.”
• SmartRecruiters contains all the tools you need in one place. If additional functionality is required, then existing tools and infrastructure can be easily integrated into the platform. This provides local flexibility and means recruiters spend more time assessing candidates and less time navigating clunky software.
• The ease of use of SmartRecruiters for both users and candidates, including one click applications, means Gameloft can create a positive candidate experience that best matches the innovativeness of their company.
