I recently had a great experience with some of the best people ever! They guided me through the entire process step by step and always kept me informed about everything. They found the right position for me and worked on getting me the best deal in town. Not only did they make my experience a pleasure, they were always ahead making sure that my position was well deserved. If you want to work with the most friendly and professional people ever, make sure you have Game Recruiters on your side!

Senior Character Artist

   

Just wanted to shoot you a quick email - Letting you know its been awesome working with your team so far at Game Recuiter. Elizabeth listened to my wants and needs for a studio and was able to connect me with their representative in less than 3 days! - Christine Cicchi sent in my resume and im now doing a test. So all is well. Its been the best recruiting agency so far. I like the one on one i have with Elizabeth. usually they pass you to 2 - 4 reps from the recruiting agency and they all ask the same questions after you filled out paperwork several times. Elizabeth had everything on hand and knew who i was and remembered my art when i called.

thanks again!

Maria Barton, your relationships and ability to connect with some of the best candidates in the industry, depth and breadth of knowledge of the videogame business, and superior response to our needs is what makes you our trusted source and GameRecruiter the top agency in the business. You and your team just “get it” and that efficiency is what ultimately saves us time and money.
   
From a

Associate Producer

   
I'm sure you don't remember me, but I met you in 2003 at an IGDA meeting at Full Sail, you gave me a copy of "Get in the Game!" Well, it took me awhile but I finally got my break and was hired as a Associate game designer at Nerjyzed entertainment in Baton Rouge (www.nerjyzed.com). I pratically memoryized Get in the Game and it prepared me so much for my interview. I know technically I didn't go through your services, but your book helped me out so much I just wanted to tell you THANK YOU!!! I'm finally living the dream and couldn't have done it without. Take care and talk to you soon.
   
From an

Artist

   
Hi Marc, You don't know me. I found your email on LinkedIn.com through a co-worker of mine. I just wanted to write a quick email to send you the thanks you deserve. I bought your book almost two years ago (a month before I got a job at Activision testing games) and since then, it has been my bible to the game industry and has helped me so much. I am now working as an artist on cell phone games and am still on my climb up the industry ladder. I recommend your book to everyone I know that is looking for some help with resumes and getting a game job. Thank you so much. It's a superior help.
   
From a

Producer in Florida

   
I just wanted to take a second to thank you for all of the effort you have exerted on my behalf. I can easily say that no other recruiter I have worked with has done anything beyond relaying job opportunities back and forth. I look forward to hearing info from our current lead, but if this isn't the one, we'll just continue on. That's it. I just thought it was important to say thanks. game job. Thank you so much. It's a superior help.
   
From an

Artist

   
I do have to say you are great. You seem very down to earth and never have pressured me into doing something I didn't feel right about. For that, you have my total respect, and I look forward to working with you again. Thanks for being on my side.

From a

Development Director - Electronic Arts

   
I have worked with many recruiters and recruiting firms over the years, and Marc Mencher is a rare breed. His dedication and attention to detail were invaluable to me at a time when I was struggling to find the right fit on my own. Marc is simply the best. Rest assured, should I need a recruiter again, his will be the first (and only) number I call.

Game Programmer

   
RE: You Guys Helped Me More Than Any Other Recruiting Firm!
I had to thank you for helping me acquire my new job! I know I am really going to enjoy working there. You went farther than any other recruiting firm I have worked with. I know this is why I got the position. The conversations we had really boosted my spirits and helped me focus on what was important. Due to this, I was not nearly as doubtful and nervous during the interview process. You guys helped me convert my anxiety into enthusiasm which was key in my getting this new job! Thanks again.

RE: You Got Me Out Of A Tight Spot!
Marc Mencher and the GameRecruiter team really got me out of a tight spot. I found myself without a job and only 2 months until my U.S. Visa would expire. Being shipped back to my country of origin was not the ideal situation for me. Team GameRecruiter jumped right in. Marc and his team provided me great career advice and I was left feeling that I had friends who were genuinely concerned about me and my situation. Not only was GameRecruiter able to fast track me through the interview process, they also were able to fast track my Visa filing. They even orchestrated my move and helped get my wife to the states. GameRecruiter - You have a friend and customer for life. Thank You for all you have done for me!
   
From a

Product Manager

   
RE: I LOVE MY JOB!
I'm settling in great over here after a couple of weeks and I can't recall if I sent you an e-mail about GameRecruiter and my experiences with you guys. I had my resume with several other executive search companies, and in every case I had to take the initiative. I'm used to that, but it was a nice pleasure working with GameRecruiter. It's great we made a match on the first try, and actually, this is a much better situation for me than my previous position (and not just in pay and commute). I was excited about the interview, and I haven't come down yet. My product looks like it's going to be a winner! Thanks again for all your efforts.
   
From a

CEO of WebcarZZ

   
I have worked with Maria Barton for quite some time, in my leadership roles with different companies. Maria Barton's knowledge and contact base in the game industry is unparalleled. Her ability to help me plan strategically has helped me make some key decisions which, I feel, have improved our chances to succeed. She has been more than a recruiter, she has been a key partner.
   
From a

Lead Artist, Majesco Entertainment

   
Throughout my career, I've had numerous recruiters contacting me with lofty goals and shady motives. It had gotten to the point that I simply couldn't trust people, who would either send my work through to a company despite my insistence to the contrary, or simply not even bother to call me back, leaving me hanging in limbo until I contacted them months later. Marilyn Rebman is the real deal. She says what she means, and does what she says. I can't think of a time the recruiting\hiring process has gone so quickly and so smoothly. Even when she went out of town, she contacted me to make sure everything was working fine. If you want promises, contact someone else. If you want results, call Marilyn.
