Last month the team successfully placed some amazing junior candidates in to new studios roles. Many of which came to our Get In The Game careers and took part in our SFASX game dev challenges — it’s no surprise that they’ve been noticed and hired by studios that are also heavily involved in the work we do!

Congratulations to everybody on your new roles in the games industry!
