Unlocking hidden talent
at Activision Blizzard

Talent rediscovery establishes connections in a competitive environment
In 2021, 41 percent of all new hires at Activision Blizzard were made through the process of talent rediscovery. By connecting with historical candidates, or candidates who had previously applied to the company up to seven years prior, recruiters were able to make connections with hidden talent that other companies may overlook.
“Prior candidates are elated knowing they are being re-connected with.“
Justin GhioDirector of Talent Sourcing, Activision Blizzard 
“Skills adjacency is a way of opening nontraditional pathways for employees who don’t have the experience doing the exact job needed but have every ounce of capability required.“
Stuart LoganManaging Director of Human Resources
