# Julian Holtstiege
CFO at AKEYI building corporate games to rethink how companies recruit talent.

## About

Julian Holtstiege helps companies use video games to hire. As the CFO at Lean Ocean Software GmbH, the studio behind AKEYI, he focuses on replacing static text and video marketing with interactive, playful experiences.

He argues that traditional recruiting methods often fall flat in a distracted world. At World Congress 2024, Julian broke down how custom games give candidates a more memorable introduction to a company, turning the standard application process into an engaging challenge.
