  Emma is great! Without her enthusiasm, trust, belief, and professionalism I wouldn't have been able to secure a role at CD Projekt Red. Throughout the long application and interview process Emma made things so much easier to handle. She took the weight from my shoulders and was the essential bridge between myself and CDPR. I have complete trust in her judgement and ability to read a situation. I wouldn't hesitate to get in touch again in the future if I needed to find another job. Thank you Emma!

  Gary is our Technical Art, Lighting and VFX Artists Consultant in our Creative division. Entering the recruitment sector in 2016, he couldn’t pass up the chance to combine his knowledge and skills in recruitment, and his genuine love and interest in the video game industry.
