Mobidictum first launched its job platform in 2021 to help Turkish studios hire local talent more efficiently. As Mobidictum’s brand grew and Turkish talent became increasingly attractive worldwide, the platform continued operating through 2023. It then paused as the industry entered a wave of major layoffs and hiring freezes across the global games market.
Many large companies shared their layoffs publicly. At the same time, a significant number of small and mid-sized studios also went through major layoffs or shut down completely, especially in Türkiye. The downturn affected companies across every tier of the industry.
Layoffs are still continuing, and talent is arguably the most critical factor for studios right now. Production speed has increased with AI-powered tools, yet the industry is still debating the real long-term impact of AI on jobs and teams. In this environment, connecting studios with the right peopleand helping professionals find their next opportunity matters more than ever.
In parallel, Mobidictum is bringing back its Career in Games event on site, following the first edition in 2021, which was held online. The goal is to help young talent learn more about the industry and its career paths, while also supporting professionalsactively seeking new opportunities.
As part of these efforts, Mobidictum is reactivating its job board and welcoming all studios targeting talent within its ecosystem, where job-seeking talent is still mostly Turkish.
Mobidictum will continue to fill gaps in the games industry by providing solutions through its media, events, and community activities. We look forward to collaborating with more studios to grow this vision together.
