We started our journey in late 2018 as a team of 2 with the belief that in an ever-changing world, connections, opportunities and growth should be made easy. 3 years later, we’re a team of 7 shaking up video game recruitment as you know it.
We believe that people-first recruitment is fundamental to successful, happy clients and aim to inspire the industry by showing that strength lies not just in your idea but the team you build to bring it to life.
We do this by empowering studios to build talented, diverse teams made up of the best the industry has to offer. By bridging this gap between candidates and studios, we can offer the best opportunities to those passionate about making a difference.
We are exceptionally proud to have worked with hundreds of incredible studios and talented individuals, building incredible teams and doing our part to create the next generation of games.
