Far from average...
When you work with us, you’ll soon realise that we’re not your average recruitment company. Our passion for the job shines through in everything we do.
We excel at putting great candidates together with studios that fit their skills and career aspirations. We’ve been doing it for over 30 years, developing a huge network of industry contacts along the way, and evolving alongside the studios and brands we work with.
We believe this experience, combined with our forward-thinking and proactive approach, makes us the best in the business.
There's more...
Not only that, but our in-house marketing department ensure that if you work with us as a client, you also get a Marketing and PR function alongside our recruitment activities.
Whether you’re wanting to boost your brand and presence within the industry, or promote a specific project or hiring drive, we can do all of that and more for you via our marketing team.
From podcasts to editorials in leading industry publications and targeted promotional campaigns, we can help you get your studio in front of the right game development audience with Partner Marketing Support.
Looking for your first job, next career move, or need an external recruiter to work on your behalf?
We’ve got the experience and industry know-how to go above and beyond your expectations.

Knowledge & Experience
We know what it takes to recruit successfully for the games industry.
We've been around for over 30 years, growing and evolving alongside our clients and the wider industry, honing our craft and refining our processes.
-
Augment Internal Recruiters
Recruitment is now rarely outsourced in it's entirety, and the majority of our client's have internal recruiters.
We work with them, support their campaigns and find the candidates that aren't approaching them directly.
-
Relationships & Processes
The knowledge and relationships we've accrued still reside within the business today. They are key to how we work and have shaped our recruitment activity and functions.
Your internal recruitment function can benefit from our proven processes.

Boost Your Employer Brand
Unlike other recruitment agencies we promote your employer brand to devs.
Simply put, our audience is different to yours. We're not speaking to, or being followed by gamers.
For us it's games developers, the type of people you're wanting to hire.
More than just an award-winning recruitment specialist...
We've invested in the next generation of developers, creating and growing the games education initiative Grads in Games.
We run careers advice tours through the UK and into Europe, provided CV and portfolio workshops to thousands of game dev students through the Get In The Game tour. The Get in The Game events have now switched to online delivery to reach even more games students each year.
We're responsible for creating and growing two international game development challenges. With games students creating assets and games to industry written briefs and receiving feedback from industry professionals. Past winners, finalists and participants of Search For A Star and Rising Star, have gone on to make their mark in the games industry, and we're happy to have helped.
We co-founded a peer to peer industry awards event to shine a light on the game devs making the games we all love rather than the studios that release them. The cult Game Dev Heroes awards goes from strength to strength each year.
Like we said, we're more than just award-winning recruiters!
