Let your enthusiasm shine, but don't let it define your "why". Passion for games is a bonus, but it's not why we hire folks in the gaming industry. Talented folks from all runs and walks of life are responsible for building and nurturing the largest entertainment vertical on the planet, and we hire talented and exceptional individuals who can bring value and deliver impact. Don't define your "potentially" one shot at breaking into this industry as "I love games so you should hire me". Some of the most talented people I work with in this industry don't play any games. Leading with your real superpowers and talents is how exceptional talent gets hired. Remember, being authentic and showcasing your strengths is key to landing your dream job in this industry, or any for that matter.

The Godfather of Las Vegas - Executive Recruiting for Casinos/Gaming and High Tech (By Referral Only Please)
Gaming/Casino Industry Hiring Report - Regardless of the spin and press releases, most companies are experiencing revenue declines. Casino companies and gaming suppliers are laying off. How do I know? I get the resumes of those in the RIF. Additionally, a surprising number of “C” and VP level executives have “retired”, “on sabbatical” or “spending time with family”. Let's be clear: Gaming companies are laying off high level executives.

Tired of guessing games during the hiring process? You're not alone. If a job post doesn't list a compensation range, it's not worth your time to apply. Save yourself the hassle and prioritize companies that value transparency. #jobsearch #hiringprocess #transparency

The Private Equity Podcast Host | Working with Private Equity firms to secure exceptionally talented professionals for the PE firm and portfolio companies | [email protected] | +44 7860 803 558
"Do not hire people who play video games" Imagine this as a hiring criteria. Yep another piece of wisdom shared with me by a "recruitment leader" Still looking for the correlation between playing video games and being good at recruitment. Sure this would rule out quite a few top performers. Another message to be mindful of what you put in your criteria for hiring. DOES IT INCREASE THE CHANCES OF BEING SUCCESSFUL Or is it just some useless bias? Hiring for your #privateequity firm or #portfolio [email protected]

Hello, LinkedIn! Today I'm posting the second role for a new leadership team I'm building to work on a new narrative-focused, single-player game. I'm searching for a Design Director who's passionate about narrative-focused games while also embracing the challenges of taking a game from early concept to launch -- while working in a highly distributed manner. If you're interested in this role, please do apply. I'm happy to grab time and have a virtual chat (or even in person for coffee) to discuss the role, the project, the team, etc. Please note this role is in Bellevue, Washington! https://lnkd.in/gZDwddfs

Sony is planning to reduce its workforce by about 8%, joining other companies in the technology and gaming industry that have announced job cuts. 👎 The company will #layoff approximately 900 positions from its PlayStation division, citing industry changes as the reason. These #jobcuts will affect workers in the Americas, Japan, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and the Asia Pacific region. 🌎 This news comes a month after Microsoft announced it would lay off nearly 2,000 employees following its purchase of Activision Blizzard. Additionally, in January, Riot Games, the creator of the popular game League of Legends, shared that it would let go of 11% of its staff. If you or someone you know is impacted by these #layoffs, consider exploring Kickresume. Our platform offers tools and resume templates specifically designed for the #gamingindustry, making the job search process easier. 🚀 Losing a job is tough, but I'm positive that we can help these professionals in finding new, possibly even better, opportunities. I'll post links to helpful resources in the comments below. Please feel free to add any useful links you know of too. 👇

Question 🤔 Is the barrier to entry into the games industry without previous games experience unrealistic if you did not start your career in gaming? The gaming industry is undeniably thrilling, but it could be even more dynamic if we broadened our hiring and brought new ideas and processes from other industries - tech, film, marketing, etc. Reflecting on the recent activities, the insular nature of hiring within the gaming sector will continue with the flood of experienced talent into the industry. I have often heard, 'they must have previous industry experience'. However, is this a 'pie in the sky' thought process? When joining a new project, it makes a huge difference to hit the ground running, whether specific engine experience, platform experience, or how pipelines work in the industry. Have you seen the impact of hiring from other industries? Interested to hear your thoughts! #gaminginnovation #diversitymatters #gaming

Whether you’re a gaming leader looking to appoint your next outstanding hire, or you’re ready to join the C-suite of your dreams, the team you entrust with your brief should be purpose - rather than target-driven, and insist on creating a great culture over blind growth. This means a good deal of behind-the-scenes work should focus on: • Honing listening skills; sometimes it’s what’s left unsaid that proves most important • Leveraging data agility and transparency; you need the full picture, not just the positive parts • Iterating search processes for maximum efficiency; industry best practices constantly evolve Our team lives and breathes the exhilarating, innovative and technology-led world of video games, and we care deeply about its future. We’re also partial to a little Mario Party from time to time. #GamingLeadership #ExecutiveHiring #CSuite #SearchProcess #VideoGames

Before you email an in-house recruiter asking for a job, PLEASE go to their company's career page and LOOK FIRST for whatever job you're interested in. Look to see if there are any posted jobs in your area of interest on their career page first. Then, once you've found something that interests you, approach the recruiter, with that specific role, if you want to inquiry farther. *breath, Jasmine, breath.....* .. ok... 😊 I receive multiple InMails a day that go along the lines of "I'm looking for a job as an Game Play Engineer, do you know of any?" 😕 Well for one, my focus is Arts & Animation, so no, no I do not. Two, I only support Diablo IV. Blizzard makes several games and I only support one of those IP. There are currently a team of about 30+ inhouse recruiters who work for Blizzard. We are spread across the different IP's and across different disciplines within those IP's. I am not aware of what all the different IP needs are and what positions all of the different recruiters are working to fill. The best I can do is refer you to our career page. I hope that helps! 😃 (Also my apologies if that came across too harsh, that was not my intention. I simply hope to guide you in the right direction while also making the flow in my inbox a bit more productive for you. 😊 )
