I registered and participated the Games Job Fair Spring 2023 back in April. At the time, I was in the process of getting into the Gaming industry from the world of marketing. It was so great to meet a lot of like-minded people, listen to speeches, participate in workshops and to have a chance to talk face-to-face with many recruiters. The whole event was really well organized.

With the help of the event, I got my first job in the industry. I got to talk directly with the recruiters of my current employer, who were also there present.

If you're looking a way to get into the industry in Finland, this is one of the best places to do so. Please attend onsite to get the best experience.

I attended the Games Job Fair Spring 2023 with the purpose of joining the insightful talks and panels, networking and getting to know the participating studios on-site. When I was affected by cutbacks at my workplace, I knew I could reach out to a good handful of companies and hiring managers I met through Games Factory Talents. I was pleasantly surprised to learn how attending the event led me to discover my next position through the relationships and networks I made months prior. I've now found myself in a position I love with an amazing company.

I would have never expected what would get me a job would be a short interview during Games Job Fait Autumn 2022, so never underestimate the importance of even the shortest connection.

I have met so many recruiters over the last two job fairs, it's more than most people would over a few years. It's been a great learning and people have shared valuable feedback as I continue my journey as a self-taught game artist trying to break into the industry. Useful feedback, many connections and great practice talking to recruiters. I am really grateful for the Games Job Fair.

During my time at Slipgate Ironworks, we've worked extensively with Games Factory Talent. Specifically, my position as hiring manager entailed recruiting a large number of developers of various levels of seniority. And without Games Factory Talent, it wouldn't have been possible to meet and hire this sheer amount of incredibly talented people. Very helpful, extremely responsive, dependable – these are all traits that define Games Factory Talent. Especially their online and physical events stand out as opportunities which we, Slipgate Ironworks, utilized to network and connect with a large number of gifted talent from around the globe. I wholeheartedly recommend working with Games Factory Talent, and their amazing recruiters. Their process is simple and efficient, and it made our recruitment straightforward. As a hiring manager, it made my life much easier.

This event has been so helpful in connecting with many talented people in the industry, and being able to learn from veterans and recruiters what is it they want to see in potential employees. It has given me some visibility with studios I love and admire thanks to the one-on-one sessions with recruiters and overall, it was just such an amazing experience!

I have been lucky to be part of the second edition of the Games Job Fair this year and I can easily say it feels like home by now.

Incredibly thankful for the hard work put into organizing this event by the crew at Games Factory Talents and for enabling so many of us freelancers to connect with peers, recruiters and studios.

After both events ( the Spring and Autumn edition ) I feel I walk away a little more wiser and with undoubtedly a wider professional network.

I recommend this event wholeheartedly and looking forward to the 2023 edition!

I would like to thank the team in Games Factory Talents, for
organizing this amazing event and giving all of us the opportunity to share our
work, meet and connect with new people and studios! You did awesome work!
I am honored to be announced as a 2nd prize winner of Redhill studio
challenge!

Games Job Fair is an excellent opportunity to connect with recruiters and other professionals. I joined the spring edition 2022 and was amazed at how well-organized the event was. I had the chance to participate in the workshops and booked several meetings with the studio's representatives. It helped me to build my career by networking and gaining insight into the games industry. I want to thank the Games Job Fair team for hosting this great event.

Coming from a very different artistic background, I always thought I'd never find a way into the videogame industry. Games Job Fair appeared in my feed in early 2022, and I decided to participate out of pure curiosity, without any expectations. Turns out the event was the bridge I needed to kickstart my career! In a single week I received several work offers, a massive motivational boost and great interactions with people from the industry. Huge thanks to Games Job Fair team for the great opportunity given!

Excellent 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.

We've been taking part in 3 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!

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. Turns out that during the first days in the event I was given an opportunity that I didn't expect, now over half a year later I am working on a very ambitious project as a QA Tester.

The Finland Games Job Fair was my first virtual job fair and my introduction to Finland. The event was well-organized and executed superbly by Oleg and the team. I enjoyed the mix of studio presentations, advice from experts, and one-on-one meetings with recruiters. I was impressed by the job fair and convinced that landing a new role in Finland would be a good step forward in my career. I would like to thank the staff for hosting this event and helping me land the opportunity to work at an excellent Finnish company!

Finland 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.

Professional network is one of the major keys of modern career development. At Finland Games Job Fair I was able to expand my network greatly and land a job in a world class studio. Finland has an excellent game development scene and this event might be your entry ticket.
