RECRUITING TAKES IT TOLL ON MOBILE COMPANIES

UPCOMING EVENT

NEW YORK Mark Henderson sat alone in his office. He believed he just witnessed thousands of dollars walk right out the door and he felt there was little he could about it. He's the hiring manager in a platform development area of a major wireless entertainment company based in Los Angeles and he's frustrated right now.
He spent months sourcing the right candidate to fill an immediate need in his department and low behold he found him. We'll call him Steve. He followed all the proper procedures with HR, conducted the proper background checks and was certain his company was ready to tender an offer. The problem was HR was too slow to give him the green light. When Mark placed that much anticipated follow-up call to Steve, he had long since accepted a similar position at a competitor company. A mere 10 days had elapsed since Mark first contacted Steve. Sound familiar?

MWJ:
What skills are in high demand right now?
MM: Java, Brew, J2MEE, are primary skills that an engineer will need. As cell phones move towards 3D technology, Artists with retro console experience (i.e. n64, ps1, GBA) are in high demand. We still see the need for 2D pixel artists, but the industry seems to be moving towards lowpoly 3D artists and animators in terms of art.
MWJ: What trends are you seeing in the Mobile games space?
MM: The
mobile game space is moving to incorporating
3D graphics for simple games. There are more
and more community driven games being made.
Games are being sponsored by larger
conglomerates and you can accumulate prize
points for cash and merchandise. The casual
game space and the wireless game space seem
to be converging. And there is a new demand
for original IP, pulling away from the
typical model of pumping out ports of
licensed IPs.
MWJ:
What are the typical salary ranges for
these positions?
MM: Artist/Animator $25-75k base, depending on experience levels.
Programmer $35-100k base, someone who has experience limited only to mobile will be on the lower end than someone who has console, casual and mobile, will demand a higher salary.
Producer $45-100k, again depending on experience.
Game Designer/Level Designer $45-100k base.
Head of Studio/VP $120-200k base.
Marketing and Sales $60-90k base with a sales targeted bonus program.
MWJ:
: How quick is the
turn around between sourcing the candidate,
interviewing the candidate, offering the
candidate a position, and hiring the
candidate?
MM: The cycle of finding the perfect candidate for our clients is not a fast one. The initial sourcing for candidates can take about 23 weeks. Coordinating a proper interview with the candidate/client can take up to 1-3 weeks. The offer can take 1-2 weeks. And dont forget, then the candidate has the process of resigning from their current job if they are employed, thus adding more time to the process which is minimally 2 weeks. If relocation is a factor then it can also add an additional 2-3 weeks. So overall, the whole process takes about 2-3 months from start to finish. This is not unusual, even without using a recruiting service, when searching for a new job. One can expect the process to take several months.
