These Days Ninja

A creative recruitment challenge for These Days. To find fresh developer talent in a tight market, we built a site that had to be 'hacked'. Only those who solved the puzzles proved worthy of joining the team.

These Days Ninja recruitment challenge
Ninja challenge intro

Hack your way to a job

These Days was looking for fresh talent (Flash and web developers) with the right skills. But in a market with more demand than supply, how do you distinguish talent from the rest?

We decided to set up a challenge: a site that had to be hacked to prove that candidates were worthy of working with the team. A recruitment campaign that went viral in the developer community.

  • Gamified recruitment challenge
  • Technical puzzles and hacking assignments
  • Viral spread in the developer community
  • Winning recruitment strategy
