Review:
As niche job boards go, Games Jobs Direct offers a good selection of features and packages to suit both small- and large-scale recruitment drives. Employers can create fully branded profile pages, actively search a database of around 45,000 CVs, get CV matches, and see their job ads promoted on Games Jobs Direct's social media pages.
For added reach, job postings are also included in the site's weekly newsletter to more than 65,000 gaming professionals. However, there are some features the site does not provide, such as an applicant tracking system, and there is no free job posting plan or any mention of job distribution to other career sites.
