Thursday, September 27, 2007---Fort Lauderdale, FL---GameRecruiter, the leader in international recruitment services for the interactive entertainment industry, is pleased to announce their recent placement of senior executive Matt Firor as the head of ZeniMax Online Studios.
An expert in the development of online games, Firor was one of the founders of Mythic Entertainment, where he worked for over 10 years on MMO titles.

By staying on top of the evolution of the MMO industry, GameRecruiter was poised to provide the most ideal executive candidate to our client, ZeniMax Media. We feel they have made an excellent choice and that Firor will bring them unprecedented production success in their MMO objectives."
