Requirements

  • 6+ years of full-cycle recruitment experience, with a real track record of hiring for hard-to-fill senior roles.
  • Sourcing expertise that's genuine, not performative. You source because it's your bread and butter, whether that's Boolean strings, market maps, competitor intel, or direct outreach across multiple platforms.
  • Industry fluency. You can speak credibly with developers, artists, designers, and the leaders who hire them.
  • Relationship skills that hold up under pressure, whether you're coaching a hiring manager through a tough assessment or guiding a senior candidate through offer negotiations.
  • A real passion for games. Ideally you've recruited for studios or shipped interactive products yourself.
  • Dans ce rôle vous devrez:
  • Prendre en charge l'ensemble du cycle de recrutement pour des postes seniors et hautement spécialisés à travers le studio, incluant la programmation, l'art, le design et la production.
  • Faire du sourcing sans relâche. Recherches booléennes, market mapping, intelligence concurrentielle, contact direct sur LinkedIn, GitHub, ArtStation, Stack Overflow, et partout ailleurs où les talents se trouvent.
  • Exploiter des sources non traditionnelles : game jams, communautés de modding, contributeur-rices open-source, scène indépendante, forums internationaux de développement.
  • Collaborer étroitement avec nos Partenaires d'affaires en acquisition de talents et les leaders du studio (directeur-rices, tech leads, producteur-rices) pour comprendre les exigences de chaque poste et bâtir la stratégie de sourcing du mandat.
  • Représenter Behaviour lors d'événements de l'industrie, conférences, rencontres communautaires et salons de l'emploi universitaires pour maintenir un pipeline solide et une marque employeur forte.
  • Bâtir des relations à long terme avec les talents passifs en comprenant ce qui motive les meilleur-es professionnel-les de l'industrie.
  • Contribuer aux analyses de marché et à l'intelligence concurrentielle pour aider à formuler des offres gagnantes.
  • Contribuer a des projets stratégiques qui renforcent notre capacité à attirer et acquérir les meilleurs talents.
  • Ce que nous recherchons:
  • 6+ années d'expérience en recrutement sur l'ensemble du cycle, avec des résultats concrets dans l'embauche de profils seniors difficiles à pourvoir.
  • Une expertise en sourcing authentique, pas de façade. Vous faites du sourcing parce que c'est votre cœur de métier, que ce soit par recherches booléennes, mapping de marché, intelligence concurrentielle, ou contact direct sur plusieurs plateformes.
  • Une fluidité avec l'industrie. Vous tenez des conversations crédibles avec des développeur-euses, artistes, designers, et les leaders qui les embauchent.
  • Des compétences relationnelles qui tiennent sous pression, que ce soit pour accompagner un-e gestionnaire dans une évaluation complexe ou guider un-e candidat-e senior dans une négociation d'offre.
  • Une vraie passion pour les jeux vidéo
