What our clients and talents say...
- Bea GrandellHead of Talent Acquisition, RovioI first met with Oleg back in 2017 when a bunch of us TA Professionals traveled abroad to join an event organised by Oleg and the team at Games Factory Talents (GFT). That and GFT’s other events and Job Fairs have been fun and very well organised. All in all, GFT is great at connecting specific people in the games industry. They embrace feedback and always have both the candidates and employers interests at heart. I believe that partially because of their work, the Finnish Games Industry continues to be seen attractive to job seekers both locally and globally.
- Ekaterina DolgovaChief Operating Officer & Co-Founder, Redhill GamesWe've been collaborating with the Games Factory Talents and Oleg himself for about 8 years now. Oleg is very passionate about bringing to Finland best gaming and tech talents from all over the world. Job Fairs, Games Conferences and Raising Awareness events - everything is done with passion and care!
Oleg has gathered a good professional team in Games Factory Talents and they are able to meet any of the needs - be it sourcing, full cycle recruitment or employer branding! Highly recommend, especially for Nordic markets! - Elina ArponenCEO & co-founder, QuicksaveWe at Quicksave Interactive have made several successful hires from events organized by Oleg and Games Factory Talents. He has a good eye for matchmaking and knows the gaming industry inside out.
- Pavel OsmininGame Director, Slipgate IronworksI've searched for a position in the game industry that would fit my broad skill set and experience. Games Factory Talents found me and helped me get hired with a perfect match. They interviewed me to find my strengths and then proposed a position that really matched my skills and expertise. Then they carefully followed up during the recruitment process and provided valuable support. As a result, I got the position that I wanted. I definitely recommend Games Factory Talents as a responsible, competent, and attentive professionals.
- Artem IvanovMid Programmer (C++ and UE4), Slipgate IronworksI was searching for a new job and was contacted in LinkedIn by Games Factory Talents. They offered me multiple job opportunities similar to my work experience and we agreed on proceeding with one of them.
Kseniya quickly connected me with the interested people from the hiring company. Hiring process for me was smooth and transparent and whenever there were pauses caused by the hiring company, Kseniya took on the responsibility of reminding them about having to answer me which was extremely helpful due to my social anxiety.
Whenever I had any questions to Kseniya, she always managed to answer them in the same day.
Not only was I supported during the hiring process but even afterwards they kept reaching out to know whether everything was going smooth.
Overall, this was the smoothest and fastest hiring experience I've ever had in my career. - Julian UccettaTechnical Artist, Slipgate IronworksI was in an awkward position and looking for a new job when Games Factory Talents approached me with a potential opportunity. The initial interview process was quick and easy, and before I knew it I was having multiple interviews with Slipgate Ironworks. Now I am in a great position that I am extremely happy with, and I'm preparing for relocation to Denmark to further my career at Slipgate.
- Kazim HasanMid / Senior Gameplay Programmer, Redhill GamesI had a very pleasant experience throughout my job hunt with Games Factory. During my introductory interview, a recruiter not only discussed the original job role I had applied for, but recommended several other job listing as per my preferences and experience. She was very helpful throughout in arranging interviews and answering any questions I had about the process. I landed a role that I am extremely happy in.
- Jesse ElorantaQA Tester, HypeHype Inc.Back in the spring of 2020 when I applied to the Games Job Fair I didn't really expect to gain much from it as a student looking for an internship.

I would like to thank the staff for hosting this event and helping me land the opportunity to work at an excellent Finnish company!
- Mohammad AminiLead Game Designer, FingersoftFinland Games Job Fair was a genuinely effective event for me to get in touch with many Finnish Game Companies. During this event, I had the chance to connect and ask questions directly from managers and directors and find out how it is like to work in their company. I always had a deep respect for the Finnish game industry, and thanks to this event, I could land a job in a fantastic game studio where I can be proud of the products we are making.
- Lucas FalcaoTechnical Sound Engineer, Redhill GamesI was at the end of a project in my last company and was looking for other opportunities. I saw an opening in Redhill Games through Games Factory Talents and sent my application. A couple of weeks later I got an email asking for an interview and after going through the process I moved to Helsinki and am now working with incredible people. It's refreshing to see there's a company actively helping professionals and companies find each other in an industry as rough as the games industry
- Arthur MagomedovTechnical Artist, Redhill GamesI posted a resume in the head hunter website, it was in English with my portfolio links, and my contacts. After a while Games Factory Talents contacted me and suggested to pass an interview. The interview was half in Russian, and half in English, just to prove my English skills, and that I'm a real person seeking for a job. And after some time I was invited to an interview with the Redhill Games, I've passed three interviews, including technical interviews and I got a job offer!
Redhill Games relocated me an my family to Helsinki, so now I work and live in Finland.
It was really easy and smooth experience! I'd like to thank all the people at Games Factory Talents, well done! And my special thanks to Games Factory Talents team! - Alexandr ShevchenkoSenior Software Engineer, Angular VelocityI heard about Games Factory Talents a couple of years back and participated in the Helsinki IT and Games Job Fair where I met Angular Velocity and had an interview at the event.

- Katya DologovaCOO, Redhill GamesWe've been taking part in 2 events already and will happily join the next one! The Finland Games Job Fair team is doing great job promoting Finnish Game industry and gaming jobs in Finland and abroad.
Redhill Games is a young studio with high ambitions for the game development! We're growing quickly and as the game progressing, we need more and more talents to join and help driving it to perfection. The event helps to raise awareness and connect studios and professionals. Even if we do not hire anybody from the event, we always build good connections and relationships for the future opportunities. Our favorite part of the event is an opportunity to have company fire-side chats with the participants, to be able to show the studio from inside, listen to people's thoughts and feedback and have a conversation with likeminded people! - Rahul PardasaniTalent Acquisition Partner, YousicianExcellent support and communication by Oleg and his team in facilitating the career fair online. There was enough information and proactive support by the team to ensure the career fair went through smoothly and all the participants have meaningful interactions. We ended up sending offers to 3 developers from the job fair and the quality of applications and interactions were surprisingly positive from my experience
