You've heard us talk a lot about Compulsion Games. 📣 And for very good reason, too. This partnership has been #career and company defining for the majority of us at Studiotypes over the last 5 years. The partner of dreams, you might say. 🖤 In our first of hopefully many more #casestudy posts we intend to share, we feel it's important to dive into the highlights, achievements and even the data of what value we've been able to add to #gamedevelopment studios when we get the opportunity. Talking about #jobs is pretty easy. Being able to share the challenges we overcame and the impact we made is where it counts. 💪 Our humble beginnings with Compulsion began with ad-hoc email exchanges and sharing speculative talent with Guillaume back when they were mid way through dev on We Happy Few, and still an #indiedev. We clicked, our relationship began to blossom, and shortly after shipping their 2nd game to a very warm reception, Xbox Game Studios Publishing came along and announced they were acquiring the studio. 💥 A number of hires later, Michael Elliott Chan, CHRP CRHA joined the fold and with a growth plan in place to get the studio to 90 people, we got to work. How can we sum up some of the best bits? ✅ #CoopMode started with Compulsion Games, and is still going 3.5 years in ✅ We've hired over 80 people in just over 5 years, with 63 people since in coop ✅ We visited Montreal for the first time in 2023, finally meeting folks in the flesh ✅ Besides headcount growth, we continue to support the People/HR needs ✅ 'South of Midnight' has so far won two Clio awards, and is one of Xbox's most anticipated upcoming releases... We want to say thank you again to Michael, Guillaume Provost, Delilah Robinson, Geneviève Forget, Whitney Clayton and all of the wonderful people at Compulsion Games (too many to tag here) for the support, trust and belief in our work over the years. It's been a ride! #gamedev

We're changing the way Game studios think about hiring talent.
About us
We build teams for some of the World's most exciting Game studios. Whilst it's no secret the studios who make the best games usually attract and hire the best people, not everyone knows how to make that happen. That's where Studiotypes' comes in. Developing great teams requires sustainable hiring models and a clear vision to attract diverse and skilful minds who align well with your mission. Those talented individuals also deserve expert support when they're looking to level up. They need to work with people who know what they're doing and who do it well. So, we built a company that people want to work for and partner with, who at least understand how to develop and grow teams others can only dream of. Follow us on...

Last month marked 10 years since the iconic Monument Valley was revealed to the World by our good friends and partners at ustwo games. 👏 The beautiful Escher-inspired, mechanically designed world that redefined the puzzle genre in many ways, went on to win multiple awards and set a new bar for what premium #mobilegames could be. Many copycats followed, but it also turned out to be the project that spawned what the studio is today. This article on GamesIndustry.Biz captures the story nicely. As Daniel Gray puts it; "[It's] not just a story about Monument Valley, it's a story about the company – because the entire company got built around what worked." With our very own Victoria Sini as their dedicated Talent Lead, we're so proud to be part of their journey. Here's to 10 more years! 🥂 #gamesindustry #partnership #recruitment

Our very own Victoria Sini hitting the #gamesindustry recruitment big leagues. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Today I want to shed light on the heroes of our gaming community. Folks I am addressing here have been dedicating their invaluable time to help more than 330k individuals displaced by the cycle of layoffs since Jan'23 last year. 🙏 𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮 𝗴𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝘃, 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗲𝗿, 𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘂𝗻𝗳𝗮𝗶𝗿 𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗼𝗳𝗳𝘀, 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗷𝗼𝗯 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗵𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗼 𝗴𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁. ~Jordan Mazer~ A best-in-class jobs compiler currently, Jordan has had hardcore experience in recruiting for Scopely & Riot Games. Other than helping the community with connecting devs to studios, he is even invested in transforming employees into founders and sharing perceptions on how gaming companies can be funded the most efficiently. ~Amir Satvat~ Amir is a highly active person who strongly believes in the essence of community that video games provide. He is very diligent when it comes to displaying & updating fresh career opportunities with regular insights on breaking into the games industry. As a business development director for Tencent Games, Amir thrives to build a genuine ecosystem of games community because as you can see his passion for his work talks wonders. ~Caitlin Cooke~ Another efficient games enthusiast, Caitlin curates and uploads game careers across the industry frequently. She has worked for Google and GitHub previously to acquire talent for them which has resulted in her growing tech startups with the best talent. ~Alex Gombos~ (laid off recently herself yet compiles jobs to help the community) Alex was recently the talent acquisition manager for Sony Interactive Entertainment itself. With a decade's worth of experience in recruiting for various roles and functions across the games industry, Alex is a lively person always excited about building a strong society of video game talent. ~Victoria Sini~ A Women in Games Ambassador, Victoria is a talent lead who is also a gamer. She is proud of Studiotypes, the company she recruits for, and other than hiring and posting brand-new jobs she helps set up teams from scratch, plus with her company, supports scale-up rounds too. ~Hailey Rojas~ Hailey is highly passionate about game design. As a project manager and a leader in building the games community, you can expect Hailey to provide you with the latest and most recent jobs all the while staying toe-to-toe about current video game trends. Is your company or any studio that you know actively hiring? Or maybe you were impacted by the layoffs? 🙌 Here is a list of valuable resources compiled together to ease the processes of hiring and applying for studios and game devs respectively across the video game community - https://lnkd.in/gFCQQV9r #layoffsupport

Happy Friday #gamesindustry 👋 #GDC is just about wrapped up, and we're heading into the weekend. Before we sign out, we're back with our 4th instalment of our #indiespotlight. Victoria Sini has the word on these lovely teams this week. 💥 Moonloop: 🌛 "Hauntii, a captivating upcoming adventure by Moonloop Games, began as a modest project, transforming from a lively twin-stick shooter into a pensive exploration game. Set for release on PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, and Switch this year, Hauntii's distinctive charm lies in its unique blend of twin-stick shooting mechanics with a slower-paced, contemplative approach. Players, embodying a ghost in quest of answers, utilize twin-stick controls to combat foes, navigate obstacles, and possess various world objects, adding depth to the mysterious Eternity setting. Its hauntingly beautiful style and innovative concept make Hauntii a noteworthy adventure on the horizon." Double Dagger Studio 🗡️🗡️ Seattle-based, Double Dagger Studio, is diligently crafting their inaugural game, "Little Kitty, Big City," set to release sometime in 2024. This charming sandbox adventure features an adorable cat exploring the city at its own pace, making friends, completing quests, and, notably, sporting various hats. I can’t wait for this one! Hyper Games ⚡ "Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley," inspired by Tove Jansson's Moomin tales, offers a wholesome experience blending nature and Snufkin's rebellious spirit. Released on PC Steam and Nintendo Switch on March 7, 2024, and mobile later in 2024, it features musical puzzles and stealth gameplay, emphasizing Snufkin's respect for nature while introducing new conflicts with the Park Keeper. Hyper Games, an independent game studio from Oslo, Norway, renowned for "Mørkredd" and "Eggggg," crafted a unique visual style. Have a great weekend! 🫶🏼 #indiedev #gamedev #games
