Interview with "SMALL WORLD," a recruiting and matching service specializing in foreign engineers and designers, at TGS2023! We asked them about their expectations and thoughts on the domestic game industry.

We support not only Japanese job seekers but also foreign nationals in finding jobs with foreign and Nikkei global companies, especially in the IT and creative industries.

CRAFTS Corporation, a group company of SMALL WORLD, was established in 2008 and has been deeply involved in creative activities in the game industry, mainly in the field of computer graphics production. Due to this relationship, we have introduced many job seekers in the game industry, such as CG moderators, animators, and Unity engineers, to our clients.

Our group company, CRAFTS Corporation, has been working in the game and creative industries for many years, and we are able to accurately grasp the current trends and market environment of the industry and introduce the right personnel to meet the client's needs.

CRAFTS Corporation, a group company, is currently working on an ongoing game project, and the development team at CRAFTS and the recruiting team at SMALL WORLD are constantly exchanging information, which enables us to propose more suitable personnel to our clients.

While it is not always easy to hire excellent Japanese personnel, we are able to match job seekers with companies based on our understanding of industry trends and the market environment, taking advantage of the characteristics of our group company CRAFTS, which has been involved in the game industry for many years. We are also able to attract excellent human resources not only from Japan but also from overseas, and we are currently introducing excellent overseas human resources who can speak other languages to many Japanese companies. We are now able to introduce many Japanese companies to talented people who can speak other languages. We are committed to contributing to the game industry by utilizing the strengths of CRAFTS, a group company that has been involved in the game industry for a long time, and our ability to introduce not only Japanese but also excellent overseas personnel.

I felt that this year's TGS brought back the liveliness of the pre-Corona TGS. I had a great time at the venue and visited the booths of clients that I usually work with. Real events are great!

Japanese games and content are really popular all over the world. While people around the world are enthusiastic about Japanese games, I have the impression that Japanese game development has yet to take advantage of the excellent human resources from overseas. As the shortage of human resources in Japan becomes more serious, I believe that if we can successfully recruit talented overseas personnel, Japanese game development will become more active.

I believe that Japanese games and content still have great potential. We have many non-Japanese employees, and many of them came to Japan because they like Japanese games and culture. I believe that there are still many talents and works that have not yet been introduced to the world, and we would like to play a part in helping Japanese games and content to become more globally recognized through our human resources.

To embody our company name, SMALL WORLD, we would like to introduce job seekers not only from Japan but also from all over the world. If you are a company looking for IT or creative industry personnel in Japan or overseas, please contact us anytime!

Let's make the game industry exciting together! We are also recruiting immensely in all directions, so if you are interested in joining our company, please contact us anytime!
