Improving your Onboarding | The GamesIndustry.biz Academy Jobscast
Third episode in our four-part series now available, explores how to make hires feel welcome and enabled
Throughout this month, we'll be taking a deeper dive into the world of video games recruitment and the challenges facing both applicants wanting to enter the industry and companies wanting to secure the best talent.
For our third 'jobscast,' we take a look at the onboarding process and how studios can better prepare recruits for their new role. We discuss the challenges involved -- both before and during the pandemic -- as well as how the process differs depending on which stage of a project you're bringing in new team members.
Our panel this week includes Jagex's Jody Zarkos, Timbre Studios' Zoë Curnoe and Geoff Coates, and Rogue Games' Chris Archer.
This series is part of our Get A Job In Games Month. If you want more advice on virtual onboarding, you can find an in-depth guide here.
