TO FIND A MANAGER OF DATA ENGINEERING FOR A GAMEDEV COMPANY
It’s always important to stay in touch with the client: that way you can focus on the demands of a specific company, follow the changes, and stay on top of the situation. However, it’s just as vital to remember about your candidates: you never know when you’ll need one.
A gaming company that develops the most popular social, casual, and online card games was in search of a Data Engineering Manager. Spoiler alert! We filled that position in a day. How? It’s all about networking.
I KNOW A GUY
Our recruiters are in touch with many candidates even when they are not looking for a job. In this case, our recruiter had a recommendation for one strong data engineer, and by this time, they had known each other for a year. This candidate was interviewed from time to time but never went for any companies our recruiter suggested, even when there was an offer.
But once this position was in the works, the recruiter realized that it was the perfect match for his data engineering friend. While working on the position, the recruiter contacted the candidate: would you like to try this one?
The questions from the candidate were broadcasted live to the client, and the answers traveled back the same way immediately. As soon as the position was fully moved under the jurisdiction of Avarn, the recruiter introduced the very same data engineer, all under one business day.
OUR CANDIDATES POOL GIVES YOU A HEAD START
Just as the recruiter had planned, this candidate met all the client’s requirements. The company didn’t even want to look for other options, and the position was closed after all the interviews were through.
The fact that we are in touch with all our candidates even when they are happily employed plays to our advantage. When we have several familiar candidates in our network, we can send first CVs to the client within a couple of days, and sometimes, that’s enough.
