Our contingent search approach
Understand the role
We start with a focused briefing to understand the role, the team context and what a strong candidate looks like for your studio. Quick and efficient, without the overhead of a full retained engagement.
Search the network
We tap into our global network of game industry professionals to identify candidates who match your requirements. No job boards. Direct access to the talent we already know.
Screen & package
Every candidate is fully vetted before introduction. You receive a comprehensive submission package per profile: CV, portfolio links and our detailed interview report, so you have everything you need to make a fast, informed decision.
Submit & place
At least two strong profiles delivered within five working days. From there we support the process through to offer and placement. You only pay when a candidate is successfully placed.
For standard roles that need to be filled quickly, Contingent Search offers a straightforward and low-risk solution. No upfront commitment, no financial exposure until a placement is made. Your hiring budget is protected throughout the process.
Pricing is pay-on-success or a fixed flat fee, mapped to the seniority of the hire. Filling multiple roles? Volume reduces the fee. Payment terms include a split fee structure that works with your studio's cash flow.
