Meeting Ambitious Goals in the Competitive Mobile Gaming Market
Xyrality, a mobile gaming studio based in Northern Germany, is known for creating engaging app-based games with complex multiplayer features. To support their continued success and expansion, Xyrality needed to scale their development capabilities effectively. Their goal was to build a larger, experienced team capable of delivering features quickly, supporting multiple releases, and maintaining high technical standards. With limited internal hiring capacity and a need for a diverse skill set, Xyrality sought a strategic recruitment partner.
Strategic Talent Acquisition and Effective Onboarding
To address Xyrality's needs, we established a specialized team, starting with a core group of iOS and Android developers. As the project evolved, additional roles were added, forming dedicated teams for mobile development, backend engineering with Java, QA, DevOps, UI, and game design. We also implemented a practical junior onboarding program, providing Xyrality with a cost-effective approach to nurture and retain talent as they progressed to more senior roles. This strategy ensured a consistent supply of skilled professionals who integrated smoothly into Xyrality's operations. We worked closely with Xyrality's leadership to align the growing team with their gameplay objectives, technical standards, and release schedules.
Enhanced Capacity and a Stronger Market Position for Xyrality
Our partnership with Xyrality resulted in the successful development of a capable team of over 20 specialists. Xyrality gained the ability to release new features efficiently and support complex multiplayer mechanics. By implementing effective hiring strategies and fostering in-house talent growth, we enabled Xyrality to maintain a competitive edge in the dynamic mobile gaming market. Developer retention remained high, and the mix of experienced and junior talent helped manage hiring costs. The collaboration supported the development of popular gaming titles and contributed to Xyrality's reputation for innovation and player engagement.
