Company
The Origin Point of Game Recruitment
The specialised recruitment partner for the global gaming & interactive tech industry — built by veterans with 30+ years of combined games-recruitment experience.
The challenge
Finding "game-ready" talent
Interactive entertainment is growing faster than the supply of specialised talent — a global bottleneck, not a local one.
Scarce high-end specialists
Veteran Unreal Engine 5, Unity, Technical Art and Complex Systems talent is in short supply worldwide.
The technical quality gap
Generalist recruiters can't judge production-grade portfolios, so studio leads lose time on candidates below the AAA bar.
Hyper-competitive talent
Top AAA and mobile talent is passive, rarely on job boards, and needs a peer-level approach to engage.
Borderless competition
Studios now compete with remote-first global giants, so hiring needs a partner who works across borders.
