As games industry recruiters, we’re very conscious of how difficult it is for new talent to break into the games and interactive industries. It’s very rare that games studios ask us to find individuals to fill junior positions, so unfortunately we often find that we have to turn away junior and graduate talent. For this reason, we’re on a mission to offer help and advice to graduate and junior level talent, in order to help them break into the industry.
