PC/Console Games Recruiting FOR JOB SEEKERS
Gaming revenues continue to grow at a staggering pace, and this increase has brought about the need for more qualified software engineers, game designers, artists/animators, and other specialized game-creation positions. PC/console games have shown a gain in market share of a four-percent upswing in recent years compared to only a one-percent uptick in mobile gaming. Because of the expanded interest in the PC/console market, the video-game industry requires hiring more gaming professionals who can help address the increased market share demand.
Demand for game designers, software engineers, artists/animators, and other positions are expected to continue and increase for the foreseeable future.
