At Valnet, our business is all about digital excellence—powering premium content brands across entertainment, tech, gaming, and more. Behind the scenes of every viral article, optimized workflow, and innovative strategy is one thing: the right people.
In a fast-paced, data-driven environment like ours, building exceptional teams is more than just filling roles. It’s about hiring talent that embodies our high-performance culture, thrives in our competitive media ecosystem, and aligns with the Valnet Business System (VBS).
Great hiring at Valnet happens at the intersection of technical skill, personality, and team dynamics. Here’s why all three matter—and how they shape the way we grow.
1. Technical Skill : The Core of Operational Excellence
Our brands—like ScreenRant, GameRant, TheGamer, and Collider—run on performance. That’s why technical skill is non-negotiable. Whether it’s a developer working on a custom CMS, an editor driving SEO strategy, or a video producer managing high-volume content pipelines, proficiency is essential.
Valnet hires people who are masters of their craft. But we know it doesn’t stop there—skills are only one part of the equation.
2. Personality : The Culture Multiplier
Valnet’s culture thrives on ownership, accountability, and high standards. We operate with lean, focused teams where every person plays a pivotal role. That’s why hiring for personality—attitude, adaptability, communication—is just as important as ability.
We look for people who:
- Embrace feedback and move fast.
- Stay positive under pressure.
- Push for better—every day.
A strong personality fit doesn’t mean sameness. We celebrate diversity of thought, but we hire those who reflect our values and raise the bar for those around them.
We look for those who stay humble, stay hungry—individuals who pair curiosity with commitment and chase growth without ego.
3. Team Impact : Collective Strength Over Individual Stars
Each of Valnet’s verticals is built around high-performing, tightly knit teams. Whether you’re working with editorial, development, product, or marketing, collaboration is key to scale.
Involving the team in hiring ensures we bring in individuals who enhance dynamics, not disrupt them. That includes:
- Cross-functional interviews.
- Real-world scenario assessments.
- Honest conversations about expectations and pace.
We don’t hire in silos—we build teams that win together.
The Valnet Business System: Our Blueprint for High Performance
What ties all of this together is the Valnet Business System (VBS)—our operational framework that guides how we hire, operate, and grow.
The Valnet Business System (VBS) is an operational framework that combines the principles of competitive sports with a business mindset focused on long-term value creation. At its core, VBS emphasizes the relentless pursuit of results through disciplined execution, strategic prioritization, and a deep commitment to excellence.
This mindset permeates everything we do—from editorial velocity to monetization, data-driven iteration, and people development. Hiring through the VBS lens means we don’t just seek talent—we look for grit, focus, and potential to scale.
Every hire must bring clear value, move fast without compromising quality, and push the team forward.
How We Hire Smarter at Valnet
Here’s how we approach hiring intentionally:
- Structured evaluations for both skills and soft skills.
- Collaborative processes involving relevant stakeholders across teams.
- Live exercises or task simulations that mimic real-life work.
- Personality and value alignment through transparent, direct dialogue.
It’s not about perfection—it’s about potential, performance, and pace.
Final Takeaway: Building Teams That Drive Growth Innovation Results
At Valnet, we don’t just hire people to do jobs—we hire digital athletes who are hungry to win. We build teams that scale brands, innovate daily, and thrive in high-stakes environments. That only happens when you hire with precision.
So as we continue scaling digital brands to millions worldwide, we stay focused on what matters most: bringing the right people into the right seats—with the right mindset to grow with us.
Because the best teams are built by people who stay humble, stay hungry—and never stop chasing excellence.
That’s how we build long-term value. That’s the Valnet way.
