Have You Had Bad Experiences with Recruiters? ETS opened in 2004 because ETS Principal, Malcolm Johnson, had several bad experiences with marginal recruiters when he was a Manager and Director of Technology in games. For ten years, he frequently had engineering positions to fill and despite knowing the value of outside recruitment, he was often disappointed by the service he received. He wanted to apply his staffing and mentoring experience toward providing a useful career service for game programmers and studios, and ETS is the result. Whether you are actively looking now, if you periodically want to hear about open positions that match your background, timing, and goals without pressure or hype, or if you just want some tips on how to improve your career engineering today, ETS is in a better position to help you. What Can the Right Recruiter Do for You? The right recruiter will make you aware of a wider variety of open positions that match your abilities and your goals, and then guide you through the process of landing the option you select, all on your terms. Many factors will determine if any particular recruiter is right for you, including a working knowledge of your skills, knowledge of the games industry, and a process and style that suits you. The best advice is to shop around for a recruiter and select one before you need one. Learn how ETS works for engineers then contact us to initiate a relationship for an immediate or future search.

product
cycle. This is not only in the studio's best interest;
it is in the engineers, too. In fact, as long as your position
provides continual professional growth and while your employer is
treating you well, it might be best to stay put. But when you begin to
envision a better situation, it makes sense to keep an eye out for an
improvement. It may be the result of stunted growth, organizational
concerns, poor management, or boredom, and it tends to arise slowly.
Many engineers rely on ETS to contact them when positions that match
their guidelines arise. They may elect to explore it further and they
may not but in either case, they gain a better understanding of the
hiring climate. This is easy to arrange. After
gathering your essential
details, ETS systematically matches them against new open positions as
they arise. Since it results in just a few contacts per year, it
will not require much time and you can be confident that the
positions will closely match your goals. If you decide to explore an
opportunity more closely, ETS will work with you to create an
individual presentation that highlights your talents, and then take it
to the appropriate decision-maker in the company for consideration. If
this no-cost awareness sounds reasonable, contact ETS to
initiate a
dialogue.
