The game industry is growing at such an amazing pace that it constantly needs more manpower. And the range of different specialties wanted is bigger than anyone outside of the game industry would imagine. Specialties with the highest demand definitely would-be programmers, with the second being artists: 2D, 3D, Animators, VFX artists, level artists. Third, designers: gameplay, level, quest, and game designers. But that is not all, the industry also needs product managers, QA engineers, testers, player support, and many more.
The career zone was introduced in GIC 2016 and then repeated in 2017-2021 (under the new name of Geek Careers), with many companies attracting employees for their Polish and international offices.
Geek Careers in 2022 is already record breaking, for starters with the number of recruiting companies: more than 20 are expected.
Bearing in mind that some of you may have limited time or means, we've made it really easy to take part in the event - access to Geek Careers is free not only for all GIC attendees but also you can do a one day visit using the Open Pass.
