Benefits of Our Games Industry Recruitment Services

Our games industry recruitment services have the following benefits. These benefits are:

Access to Niche High-Quality Candidates

With a combination of research, networking and industry expertise, tech recruitment agencies can help you find high-quality candidates even for niche requirements. If jobs posts do not generate quality responses, they can always query a database of passive candidates, who are highly qualified and would be a great fit for the job.

Extensive Knowledge of the Industry

Given their industry expertise, they would be able to test the candidates adequately, to instill confidence in the client that they are making the right decision. This testing process will be very comprehensive and will include expert developers from the industry reviewing the results.  

Cost-Efficient Recruitment Practices

The recruitment practices and strategies of tech recruitment agencies are cost-effective. They would be posting on several job boards, which may not require a heavy fee for each post, few of them being free to use. They will network with old connections on forums, and perhaps even put a word out in WhatsApp groups saying that they are looking for someone with specific skills and a particular background.   

Protects against Ineligible Candidates

Candidates who are not up for the job or must work on their skills will be avoided by a quality tech recruitment agency. They will only select high-quality candidates who are a good fit for the role, and some of the techniques they will use are psychometric and cognitive assessments, behavioral tests etc.  

High-Speed Onboarding

The time to hire is also significantly reduced when IT recruitment is handled by a tech recruitment agency. A tech recruitment agency will also conduct the onboarding of the candidate in a quick yet coordinated manner, making the candidate feel comfortable at every stage of the process. This is another place where the rich industry knowledge of the tech recruitment agency comes in handy.

Manageable Timeframes and Focus on Core Business

The timeframes for the process of recruitment are well-managed, starting with the job profile creation and ending with onboarding. At each step, the right questions are asked to determine how much time must be allocated. Some of these questions are: How many applicants do you stop with, what time do you stop shortlisting more candidates, etc.?
