Gaming & Entertainment Recruitment

Australia’s gaming industry has exploded beyond traditional studios. From mobile game developers securing venture funding to established companies pivoting into live-service models, the talent requirements have become increasingly specialised. But companies struggle to attract senior developers from overseas while simultaneously competing for the limited pool of experienced professionals who understand the unique demands of Australian development cycles, regulatory requirements, and publisher relationships.

Jenny Barbour has developed expertise in gaming recruitment through direct engagement with Australia’s evolving gaming landscape. Our consultative approach ensures we connect gaming organisations with professionals who possess both the technical capabilities and industry experience necessary to navigate complex development cycles and competitive market dynamics.
