Since leaving EA and really due to the state of the industry (I’d prefer a permanent role) I have taken on a number of short term contracts, working at various European games studios. I’ve hired everything from junior AI programmers through to a Head of Technology role (the latter twice), and worked with business owners and hiring managers to help identify weaknesses in workforce planning and improve processes. Clients have included an AI studio based out of Portugal, a AAA Scandinavian studio, a gambling company looking for some short term help to move the needle with their recruitment team, and a British studio looking to build on its first successful title.

Absolutely loved my time at EA - an incredible organisation of which it was an honour to be a part. Working across various EA studios to help fill a number of development roles across console, PC and mobile.

Talent acquisition for an awesome Nottingham-based indie studio. Grew studio from 58 to 250 people in three years with one direct report after 18 months and a single agency hire. Lockwood is one of the leading independent UK mobile games companies. Our most successful product to date is a 3D virtual world on mobile called Avakin Life. We want to hear from talented and passionate developers who can help us implement our incredibly exciting and ambitious road-map. As part of the team at Lockwood, you will enjoy a creative, challenging and collaborative environment where your ideas will be every bit as valued as your design expertise. Our working environment is extremely open, and all team members have complete access to any metrics they wish. We hold regular company-wide briefings to ensure team members and departments are aware of the direct impact their efforts have on the progress of the project. Best of all, because we believe team members deserve more than a pat on the back for their effort, we offer a bonus scheme that pays out 50% of any increase in record quarterly profits directly to the team.

Developers of Top Eleven, sponsors of Stoke City and major European games studio offering a great work/life balance, a super European capital and some awesome titles to work on. We're looking for people right across the board, but right now I'm especially looking for senior and lead games QA and Design people.

Currently working with some of the biggest names in global games development. We're always on the lookout for good development staff - coders, artists, designers, producers & animators. you'll NEVER see us spam the discussion boards on here with jobs - we believe that, unlike most recruiters, we're in the business because we love playing games, and love helping those who make them. It's not about us - it's all about YOU.
