In September, the II award for gaming HR specialists "Game Dev HR Awards" will be held

The second “Gamedev HR Awards” has been announced. This is an annual award dedicated to game recruiting and working with people in the industry. As a year earlier, it is conducted by the recruiting platform and the agency Talents In Games.

Now the organizers invite you to take part in the event. A variety of projects from the HR sphere can be nominated: from brand building to employee training, from process automation to analytics and adaptation.

Both individual employees of gaming companies and entire HR departments can apply for the award. The main thing is that we are talking about already implemented and relevant projects (no older than two years).

The event itself will be held in the format of a competition. Applications will be accepted on September 9, and on September 15, participants will tell the jury members and the audience about their projects in the format of a five-minute online pitching. After all the performances, the results will be summed up and the winners will be announced

When choosing the winners, the jury will proceed from six criteria:

• innovativeness — how innovative is the project;
• relevance — importance in the current conditions;
• creativity — how unconventional was the approach to its implementation;
• ROI — has it paid off;
• ambition — how big is it;
• results — whether the task has been solved.

The jury, which will evaluate and select the winners, includes:

• Maria Iogman — Talent Acquisition Director — Playrix;
• Lena Timofeeva — HR Director — MyTona;
• Olga Abashova — HR Director — G5 Entertainment;
• Yuri Boldov — Head of Recruitment — MY.GAMES;
• Mikhail Pritula — CEO and Founder — Mike Pritula Talent Academy;
• Alyona Vladimirskaya — founder of the eponymous “Career Laboratory”;
• Lana Zvyagintseva — HR Director — FragLab;
• Olga Kondratovich — HR Director — Belka Games;
• Marina Lopatina — Project manager — Talents In Games.

The winners will be awarded in Moscow in October at the White Nights Conference, a business conference for the gaming industry.

The winning cases will be published on App2Top.ru . For example, one of the winners of the “Game Dev HR Awards” last year was the company MyTona. We recently published her case. It can be found at this link.
