Work for us
At Datascope Recruitment we welcome people who are enthusiastic and passionate to grow their career in recruitment. We are focused on the games industry and we pride ourselves on maintaining strong, mutually beneficial relationships with studios based in the UK, Europe and the rest of the world.
With over three decades of experience in games, online and mobile technology recruitment, we are always looking to add new members to our team, to foster and nurture their development in the field of recruitment.
We are proud of our work culture, creating a friendly atmosphere to give you the opportunity to grow independently while providing training, mentoring and fun group activities. We truly believe that Datascope, in the cultural heart of Central London, is a great place to work!
Market
Games and similar technology. Clients include ARM, Sony, Google, Microsoft as well as 100s of small independent development studios – from mobile to crypto to triple A console and more. We recruit all over Europe and the world.
Our approach
We are multi award winning and have been trading successfully for over 30 years. We are fortunate in having a strong brand and clients come to us. So there is less telesales activity than with most recruitment companies. Our business development is therefore focussed on conferences, networking and client visits.
Our ethos
We aim to gain a competitive advantage by intelligent work, new systems and ideas. Our consultants tend to be bright and often have good university degrees. So we try to play to their strengths and give them opportunities to experiment rather than micro-manage.
Consultants career progression
This can be in several directions – mainly through a people management route or through an industry specialist route. Either way, remuneration will be good. Also, the balance between basic salary and commission will be tipped heavily in favour of a higher basic once the consultant has proved his or her ability and consistency.
Remuneration and incentives
For new recruits we aim to pay slightly above market rates for basic salary plus a more generous commission structure than that of our competitors. One of the ways we achieve this is by offering you additional “account management” commission which is paid on other consultants’ placements made with a client which you are managing. This is extra commission rather than split commission and is unusual for the industry. We also offer monthly target bonuses, company profit share, two share participation schemes and 31 days holiday rising to 33 after four years (including bank holidays).
Office environment
We endeavour to achieve a happy work environment. So other good things include monthly company target dinners, snacks at the office, and a lot of flexibility regarding office hours. Check out or Instagram here for life at Datascope.
Training
Training is now top of the agenda at Datascope. We provide on-site training on recruitment, business development and systems. Our in-house training manager and our visiting consultant are phenomenal and dedicated and offer bespoke training to suit the individual’s requirements.
Systems
These are developed in-house and, we believe, are innovative and give us a competitive edge particularly with regard to data mining.
Location
We are in Regent Street on the edge of Soho. The area is fantastic for bars, street food, independent restaurants and bistros. Fortnum and Masons, St James and Jermyn Street shops are nearby. We are in the heart of the West End. There are lots of distractions!
