Before ExodiaUno: Pressure, Deadlines, and Talent Gaps
For this global mobile game publisher, certification day wasn’t just another milestone — it was the moment that could make or break their launch. Their newest multi-platform title had to pass strict compliance checks for app stores and console certification. One failed submission could mean weeks of rework, missed marketing windows, and lost player momentum.
The internal QA team was already stretched thin, maintaining live updates for other titles while preparing this release. Past outsourcing attempts had resulted in inconsistent bug reporting, missed critical issues, and unnecessary delays. The risks were clear:
Certification failure leading to costly resubmissions.
Loss of pre-launch hype as marketing campaigns stalled.
Burnout for developers forced into last-minute crisis fixes.
Step 1: Starting Small with Free Pre-Onboarding
They weren’t ready to commit to a large-scale outsourcing contract — not yet. They wanted to test the waters. That’s where Exodia Uno’s Free Pre-Onboarding came in.
Within days of signing up, they:
Gained instant access to a curated list of vetted candidates matched to their exact project needs.
Reviewed complete profiles — portfolios, test results, background data — all in one dashboard.
Scheduled interviews without spending a single dollar upfront.
They quickly realized something: hiring didn’t have to be a painful, drawn-out process.
"We were used to waiting months just to get the right shortlist. With Exodia Uno, we were already talking to candidates in less than 48 hours."
Step 2: Scaling with a Project Engagement
The Pre-Onboarding trial proved that the process worked. The studio’s next big milestone was looming — a massive seasonal content update that needed new gameplay modes, art assets, and QA testing.
They upgraded to Exodia Uno’s Project service, which meant:
- Pre-Onboarding – We sourced and vetted every role, from animators to QA testers, community managers, and programmers.
- Onboarding – We handled all the background checks, medicals, employment documents, and workstation setups.
- Deployment – Every hire went through targeted training, supervised nesting, and a controlled go-live process.
- Offboarding – At the project’s conclusion, we managed smooth exits while keeping rehire-ready talent profiles for future needs.
The results were immediate:
- Production bottlenecks cleared.
- Creative teams had more bandwidth to focus on innovation.
- Deadlines weren’t just met — they were beaten.
"The project model gave us exactly the team we needed for exactly the time we needed them. No waste, no stress."
Step 3: Committing to the Full Suite
