Randstad US Partners with Gamesmith to Connect Talent with Open Roles

As video games increasingly become one of the world's largest sources of entertainment, Randstad US today announced that it is partnering with Gamesmith, which has deep relationships with thousands of video game development studios across the world, to fill open positions in the $118 billion video game industry. The partnership will leverage Randstad's national hiring infrastructure and network of tech-based talent who may not have previously considered a career in gaming with Gamesmith's industry knowledge.

"The gaming industry is one of the fastest growing industries in the world and it needs a pipeline of talent to help fuel this growth," said J   osh Vesely, Enterprise and Integrated Talent Solutions Leader at Randstad. "To capitalize on this moment and close a worsening skills gap, the industry needs to expand its talent base and consider new, alternative methods of hiring. Our partnership with Gamesmith will make that happen."

The new partnership comes at a time when the video game industry is experiencing a surge in demand. At the height of the pandemic, 55 percent of American consumers turned to video games for entertainment, which helped boost global sales by 20 percent in 2020 and create almost 20,000 jobs last year alone. This growth is on top of an unemployment rate that is already near zero percent for those with gaming development and design skills.

"The global games market is under immense growth and pressure fueled by new hardware, platforms, territories and player base. Games are the number #1 core leisure activity with over 2.5 billion users all demanding fresh content, higher quality and a full immersion experience," said Alex Churchill , Founder of Gamesmith.com, the discovery platform for game professionals. "Gamesmith is very happy to partner with Randstad as it provides new opportunities for our members. Traditional hiring practices have changed during Covid-19 and partnering with Randstad allows our community to benefit from their experience."

From emerging technologies to evolving regulations, the trajectory of iGaming has changed substantially in recent years as the market has experienced significant growth.

In 2022, Ontario's provincial government introduced game-changing legislation that established a regulatory framework for iGaming. Due to this legislation, regulated iGaming successfully displaced the unregulated market, according to Attorney General Doug Downey, creating over 1.6 million active player accounts across more than 70 operator websites as of April 2023 — just over one year following the change.

Ontario's regulation has also laid the groundwork for widespread change in the iGaming space across Canada. As iGaming continues to evolve, it's important to have a deeper understanding of both new and existing trends that will shape the industry's future, as well as regulations.
