>Approximately 160 people, all the hiring managers at Riot at the time

Just how big was Riot Games that they need 160 hiring managers? The only big game they made was League of Legends, right?

I think "hiring manager" just means "anyone who wants to hire someone" - which would include pretty much everyone above peon level.

[ Riot Games have 2500 employees, most in the same place (per https://www.inc.com/magazine/201612/burt-helm-lindsay-blakel...) which makes 160 people with hiring privileges seem reasonable. ]

Ah, 2500. That's ~15 people per hiring manager so you're right, that does seem more reasonable.

Perhaps it reflects employee turnover rather than the company size.

zimpenfish mentioned that there are 2500 people working at the company so 160 hiring managers makes much more sense now.
