Edinburgh gaming firm hires recruiter for job search

Technology company Incentive Games has turned to recruitment firm Nine Twenty to assist with a hiring strategy.

The Edinburgh-based gaming company is looking to triple turnover over the next 18 months, with up to 30 mathematical engineers and developers set to be added to its existing headcount of 40.

The Glasgow-based recruiter will seek out candidates from well-known tech companies, offering generous salaries and a better work-life balance on behalf of Incentive.

John Gordon, chief executive of Incentive Games, said: “We have always been more of a grower than a shower – and that’s never been truer than now.

“We may not be the biggest operation, but the talent we need is hard to find, and it demands outstanding salaries and conditions.

“Therefore, each hire is a big win, and Nine Twenty saves us a phenomenal amount of time by finding and screening candidates as we continue to scale up.”

Incentive Games is predicting a rise in turnover from $6m by the end of this year to $18m by December 2023.

Chris Lowden, director at Nine Twenty, said: “Innovative and forward-looking companies such as Incentive Games require a bespoke service and are moving away from generalists to boutique firms such as ours.

“As an additional means of helping them grow, our tech team colleague, Nyomi O’Dowd, will be working with Incentive Games exclusively as talent acquisition manager to help the company fulfil all its requirements.”

Lowden, who joined in 2014, helps to drive the commercial elements of the technology and digital arm of the business.
