Ranked Talent

Ranked Talent is a boutique recruitment and hiring agency specializing in the fast-evolving worlds of Gaming, Sports, and Technology. We connect top-tier talent with innovative, high-growth companies, offering tailored hiring solutions that go beyond traditional recruiting models. With deep industry knowledge and a personalized, white-glove approach, we help our partners scale with confidence — whether they’re building core teams, launching new products, or seeking the next generation of leaders. The firm was founded by Daniel Renken, a recruiting veteran whose background spans both agency and in-house roles at standout companies like Riot Games and StartupTAP. Before entering the talent space, Daniel played professional baseball — a rare journey that shaped his competitive edge and team-first mindset. Ranked Talent was born from that same drive: to offer a more intentional, high-touch recruiting experience that delivers real, lasting impact. If you’re building something meaningful or looking to take the next step in your career, Ranked Talent is your strategic hiring partner — ready to help you navigate complexity, cut through the noise, and connect with the right people.
