Finding and Hiring a Game Producer

What the talk is about

A panel with speakers from PlayMe, Easybrain, Murka and Values Value discusses how to find and hire a game producer (a product manager or product owner). They walk through the whole process: résumés often don't show a candidate's real role, so it helps to define the position profile, expected results and place in the structure up front. In interviews, keep the number of stages low, prepare tasks that check claimed experience, and sell the vacancy to the candidate. Offers work better with bonuses, clear goals and readiness for a counteroffer. The panel also covers probation and onboarding with a mentor, honest feedback, candidates' varied backgrounds (game design, analytics, marketing), test assignments and logic tests, searching beyond one's home market, and career paths for producers. Useful for recruiters, hiring managers and producers.
