Walmart México is recruiting software developers through Fortnite, making it the first Latin American employer to use the gaming platform for hiring. The initiative features a custom mini-game where candidates complete coding challenges in Java, iOS, and Android. Walmart is shifting its identity from a traditional retailer to a technology employer, having moved its IT hub from India to Mexico in 2025. The initiative targets the 72m gamers in Mexico, and emphasizes the transferability of gaming skills to workplace collaboration. Candidates competing in in-game challenges can apply via Walmart’s Discord server or website.
