Generic recruiters don't understand games

Traditional recruiters charge premium fees but can't distinguish between a Unity gameplay engineer and an Unreal lighting artist. AI platforms treat gaming like any other industry. Neither works.

Traditional Recruiting

  • $20-30K per placement fee
  • Can't evaluate demo reels or portfolios
  • Treat all "engineers" as interchangeable
  • 3-month average time-to-fill
  • No understanding of shipped titles

CritHire

  • Fraction of the cost, runs 24/7
  • Evaluates ArtStation, GitHub, shipped games
  • Knows the difference between engine-specific roles
  • Sources and screens in hours, not months
  • Weighs shipped titles and team credits
