Startup Visa Success Story: Shail Niazi

Shail Niazi owns The Talent Games, the company that is gamifying the process of hiring candidates, which is just the kind of disruptive entrepreneurial idea that can make big changes.

Shail began the project with cofounder Paul Keijzer as a passion project. Even before the project was fully developed, they had their first client, and the company has grown to a team of over thirty, serving such noteworthy clients as Nestle, FIFA, Bain Consulting, Pfizer, and Coca Cola.

According to Niazi, "It's been amazing working with Ignite and Planet Hatch teams. It's our go-to place for all things related to our startup and has been instrumental in providing us with skills, guidance and referrals as we navigate the Canadian startup ecosystem, positioning us for success from the get-go.

"Our cutting-edge assessment technology combines gamification with the latest breakthroughs in neuroscience to allow companies to engage top talent at scale, resulting in better matches and improved employee performance."

Shail is passionate about fresh ideas and a pursuer of excellence. He's also a firm believer in the fact that "success is not inertia; you need to push to make it happen." Welcome to New Brunswick and to the Ignite/Planet Hatch ecosystem.
