Recruiter @ PlaySimple Games

About

I’m a recruiter who loves the challenge of finding the right talent for the toughest roles. Over the last 6.5 years, I’ve helped scale teams across gaming, tech, and creative industries - from Unity developers and game designers to 3D artists and senior leaders. At PlaySimple Games, I’ve closed 100+ hires a year, cut down hiring time by 25%, and improved offer-to-join rates to 85%, making sure the right people join at the right time.What makes me different is my blend of headhunting instincts and data-driven thinking. With an MBA in HR & Business Analytics, I don’t just source talent - I track what’s working, forecast hiring needs, and build insights that help leadership plan smarter. It’s where the numbers meet the people side of recruitment.At my core, I’m driven by curiosity and connection. I enjoy building relationships with candidates, telling the story of the brand I represent, and creating a hiring experience that feels personal, not transactional. I thrive in fast-paced environments and love knowing that the teams I help build go on to create the next big thing in gaming.
