  • Answer candidate questions related to:
    • Team structure
    • Tech stack / game engines

  • Build trust and credibility through quality conversations

Candidate Profiling & Database Quality

Relationship Building & Branding

  • Build long-term relationships with high-quality professionals
  • Act as a brand ambassador for both:
    • Client studios
    • The recruitment agency
  • Maintain regular touchpoints with relevant candidates

Collaboration & Process

  • Share feedback to improve sourcing quality
  • Coordinate interviews and follow-ups with internal team members

Required Skills & Experience


  • 26 years of experience in recruitment or talent acquisition
  • Strong experience in candidate-facing recruitment roles
  • Ability to assess skill fitment beyond keywords
  • Confident communication skills (spoken & written English)
  • Comfortable discussing roles, teams, and career paths
  • Organized, detail-oriented, and relationship-driven

Preferred (Nice To Have)

  • Experience recruiting for:
    • Gaming, tech, product, or digital roles
  • Exposure to consultative or boutique recruitment firms
  • Understanding of niche or skill-based hiring

This role values quality conversations, trust, and long-term outcomes.

Why Join
