Last Wednesday, King had a very disappointing IPO on the New York Stock Exchange. King's stock closed down 15.56% from its IPO price of $22.50 a share. In fact, it was the worst IPO of the year.

King has listed 165 jobs since its IPO, which represents about 25% of its workforce.

These jobs openings include positions in development, engineering, design, marketing, data analytics, and human resources.

King desperately needs to create more hit games, as its number one money-maker, Candy Crush Saga, is in decline. So it's no wonder why King is looking to ramp up its workforce.
