The Story
PlotX is a Web3.0 gaming startup organisation on a mission to build skill-based games in the Play2Earn category. PlotX is an all-new crypto-based fantasy trivia game where you can join contests about what you love – crypto, cricket, football, pop culture and many more.
Plotx reached out to us for hire mid-senior & leadership hiring across their Technology, Product&Design and Marketing teams.
The Challenge
Working alongside multiple recruitment agencies, PlotX faced many challenges: Candidates presented to them were not of the right calibre.
Drawn out and inconsistent recruitment processes.
As a result, relationships with existing agencies suffered, with a lack of trust and confidence from the hiring managers and Plotx leadership. Working in Web3 is often fast-paced and unconventional.
The Solution
We worked with Plotx on a 6 months retainer, providing them access to our tech and nontech specialist hiring desks. Here’s Talhive’s approach in brief :
We included competency-based interviews & behavioural interviews to filter the best
candidates with the right skill set and aligned culture to PlotX.

Our specialised desks curation of the top 2% candidate pool helped gain their interview funnel significant traction. They were finally able to choose from our diverse candidate pool.
The Digital and Social media marketing of the brand via our recruitment platforms helped us gain the interest of passive candidates, many of whom were eventually employed.
The Outcome
By gathering an in-depth understanding of each of the roles, the business and the culture, Talhive could match suitable candidates to the business. These prequalified, high-quality candidates were then moved through a streamlined recruitment process, resulting in A reduced average time to hire of four weeks.
Successfully placed more than 15 candidates within the HR, Design, Tech and Product Departments. Through innovative and targeted marketing campaigns and high-quality curated networking, Talhive filled 60% of the vacancies.
