With the help of our talent, Statespace is changing the game.

Challenge

Statespace, renowned for its groundbreaking Aimlabs product that enhances performance for millions of gamers, was experiencing rapid growth and recognized the need to scale its Design, Product, and Marketing teams. With only one dedicated HR Professional on staff, Statespace sought a specialized recruitment partner to augment its internal resources and effectively manage this expansion. The company needed to hire for niche gaming roles within these teams and was committed to building a diverse team that reflected the 30 million players who use their flagship product.

Solution

Statespace chose Aquent Talent as its exclusive recruitment partner, initially focusing on three critical roles: two Designers and a Director of Product Management. Aquent Talent's leadership in gaming recruitment, deep specializations in relevant areas like experience design and marketing, and expertise in diversity recruiting resonated with the company's goals. Additionally, our transparent communication style fostered trust and collaboration.

To kick off the recruitment process, we assigned a dedicated Direct Hire Consultant to Statespace as a strategic advisor, not just a recruiter. This Consultant conducted a thorough intake process for each open role, working meticulously to understand the team's specific needs and ideal candidate profiles. Then, the Consultant tapped into their network and conducted targeted searches to identify a shortlist of high-caliber candidates that matched Statespace's needs. For the initial focus on design roles, Aquent Talent submitted five candidates, all of whom the company chose to interview. The entire process was streamlined and efficient, ensuring speed without sacrificing quality.

Results

Aquent Talent met the client's urgent hiring needs while delivering exceptional candidates. Two highly qualified Designers and a Director of Product Management were ultimately hired, bringing valuable skills and fostering a more diverse team—a key win for the gaming company. Positive feedback from hiring managers highlighted both the rapid timeframe and the quality of talent presented. The entire recruitment process took just two weeks, a testament to our streamlined approach.

This successful collaboration opened the door to an ongoing engagement with Statespace. We remain the company's exclusive recruiting partner for marketing, creative, design, and tech roles, acting as an extension of their team and a reliable source of top-tier gaming talent.
