We will foster a culture of diversity, equity and belonging where together our diverse skills, experiences and backgrounds impact the games we make.

If you're passionate about tackling difficult problems with direct and thoughtful communication and team first mentality, we may be the right place for you.

About the role

As a Senior Talent Acquisition Sourcer, you will be balancing immediate hiring needs with long-term sourcing strategy—context-switching between quickly identifying and engaging top talent for open roles while also building a world-class sourcing approach.

Support the Creative & Publishing recruitment team by identifying, engaging, and nurturing high-quality talent across multiple geographies using our CRM (Gem) and ATS (Greenhouse).
Conduct in-depth research to map the gaming industry—studios, teams, and individuals—across various countries and regions, identifying trends and opportunities.
Support the sourcing roadmap, assisting the most impactful projects, outreach cadence, and content strategy to support recruitment goals.
Ensure sourcing efforts are repeatable and reusable, enabling the team to leverage research, tools, and databases to enhance long-term hiring success.
Agile Recruiting & Workflow Management: Bring experience in Agile, stand-ups, and workload management to drive efficiency and focus within sourcing initiatives.

What you’ll need to be successful

Highly organized and systems-oriented, with the ability to create processes that benefit the broader team and enhance recruitment effectiveness
Strong foundation in market mapping and industry research, with experience sourcing across multiple countries and regions.
Ability to quickly assess candidate suitability and deliver fast feedback to hiring teams, ensuring efficient hiring processes for immediate business needs.

Familiarity with Agile methodologies, stand-ups, and workload management within a sourcing or recruitment environment.
Proficiency in sourcing tools (LinkedIn Recruiter, Gem, and other advanced search techniques) and a strong understanding of Boolean search and talent intelligence platforms.
