SESSIONS

Making Your Profile Recruiter-Ready: Resumes, Portfolios & Reels for a Global Games Industry Breaking into (or staying competitive within) the games industry has never been more challenging. With studios hiring leaner teams, recruiting globally, and reviewing hundreds of applications per role, your resume, portfolio, and reel often need to make an impact in seconds. This small-table discussion is designed to help job-seekers understand how recruiters actually assess candidates—and how to position yourself to stand out in a crowded, international talent pool.

This session is ideal for artists, developers, designers, and technical specialists at all career stages who are applying to studios beyond their local market. Whether you’re targeting indie studios, AAA teams, remote roles, or international contracts, we’ll break down what global recruiters look for when sourcing talent across regions and time zones. Led by Supaglu, an Australian staffing agency working daily with studios across games, animation, and VFX in Australia and New Zealand, the discussion will offer practical, recruiter-side insights into what makes a resume easy to scan, a portfolio easy to trust, and a reel easy to shortlist. We’ll cover how to clearly communicate your role on projects, tailor materials for different studio types, and avoid common mistakes that unintentionally weaken strong applications. This is an interactive, small-group conversation rather than a presentation.
