Talent Board helps Talents to land a Dream job at a Games Studio in Finland
We decided to commit helping talents find their dream job at a Finnish games studio
It has been common knowledge for a while now that there is a huge lack of talent in the Game industry. It is also known that Helsinki is currently the best gaming ecosystem in the world. The talent deficit will not be solved by hiring a person from company A to company B within the Finnish games industry.
Universities are also not graduating enough people to solve the problem. This is why we decided to start facilitating tech recruitment events already in 2018, taking Finnish Games and IT studios to St. Petersburg and Kyiv to meet local talent and recruit team members.
Over the past two years we have been working with all the major gaming studios in Finland. We love games, we play games, that is why we are so successful in delivering success for the gaming studios.
However, we realized that out of the hundreds of professionals attending our events we were only helping a handful that were being recruited by the participating companies. We then decided to start interviewing specialists ourselves, and commit to helping them finding a position in Gaming in Finland.

Instead of building a platform only for the job seekers, we wanted to build something that would attract the companies to come visit our site in search for talent
Seeing the talent as an equally important customer as the hiring companies, Games Factory Talents would like to to build a community of game developers and to showcase this community to the companies looking for new talent.
Instead of building a platform only for the job seekers, we wanted to build something that would attract the companies to come visit our site in search for talent. Our goal was to have a way to present our talent to companies, before the company has to start the long and expensive journey of advertising an open job position.
This is why we are announcing our Talent Board in the end of 2019. The Talent Board features a variety of available game industry professionals, revealing just enough of information about them for companies to decide if this is someone they want to pursue.
