We Won an Award! ??

This month some of our team headed down to London for the DJAx Awards and we managed to snag ourselves a win! The awards celebrate the very best of job boards across all industries and we were voted to win the 'Best Social Media Presence' award.

Social media is a huge part of our mission to build a global community and create a place for game-makers, candidates and studios to connect, so we're extremely proud of this one.

It wouldn't have been possible without our incredible team here at GJD so thanks to everyone who got involved. Here's to many more!
