The GameDevSG Talent Pool Grand Opening!

The GameDevSG Talent Pool Grand Opening!

Welcome to the Talent Pool Grand Opening!

Special thanks to the 400 people who submitted  their info pre-launch! People across every major game company, and plenty more completely undiscovered talent. Thank you all for the turnout!

If you are still waiting to join the Talent Pool, I would encourage you to apply. There’s no downside and it literally takes less than 5 minutes!


Check it out at the GameDevSG site!


Why should anyone care about the GameDevSG Talent Pool?

  1. Legit opportunities. Not just any recruiter can access the Talent Pool. Recruiters are all verified before entering.
  2. Companies come to you! So you aren't applying to dozens of jobs that may or may not be real at all.
  3. Candidate filtering that promotes diversity. No profile pictures. Experience filtering based on title and not just AAA launches. Candidates verified by game industry veterans, not checklists.
  4. A powerful tag filtering system means you show up based on how well your skills align with the job, not how flashy your resume is.
  5. No strings attached! No cost to you, no spam, no nonsense. Guaranteed.


How exactly does it work?

It's actually quite simple!

  1. You submit your info, most importantly, your contact and link to a profile or portfolio.
  2. You'll select tags that correspond to your skills and software knowledge.
  3. Once you submit, your info goes right into the database for recruiters to look you up.
  4. Shortly after you'll be verified to see if you meet minimum industry standards (not based on experience, actual applied skill).
  5. To update your info, just submit the form again at any time using the same login you initially signed up to GameDevSG with.
  6. That's it!


My focus has been really on getting the Talent Pool launched, we will definitely resume helpful game industry career article content soon! In the meantime, please feel free to check out our first 4 newsletters, jam packed with info on getting a job in games!

Thank you all!

P.S. Thanks for your patience on waiting to be verified. I know a lot are worried. Really this is just a tag that signifies you meet a quality bar to employed in the game industry. This is not just based on years of experience, it's more based on potential seen from your portfolio.

Hello Sir! A big thank you for your hard work, this platform really looks promising and hopefull, specially for us rookies 🥰. If I may, I wanted to ask whether this platform is limited only the countries that are listed in the TalentPool Registration form? What do we do if ours isn’t on the list? :(
