About Aardvark Swift

Established in 1989, Aardvark Swift was the first recruitment agency to dedicate its services to the video games industry.

We have since evolved to become a market leading specialist recruitment consultancy for the VIDEO GAMES and MOBILE ENTERTAINMENT industries.

Our worldwide client portfolio encompasses organisations ranging from small start up companies, to internationally known and well-respected blue chip organisations such as: MICROSOFT, SONY, ELECTRONIC ARTS, DISNEY and NOKIA.

Recruiting across all areas of the UK and internationally we handle career opportunities in:
US (esp. California), Canada, Australia, Japan, Germany, Holland, Spain, Sweden, Denmark, France, Italy, Switzerland and Ireland.

Aardvark Swift has preferred supplier agreements in place with most leading games companies. Many companies also use our services exclusively (they do not advertise their vacancies and do not use any other agencies). So, if you aren't registered with us then you simply cannot be considered for these opportunities.

In addition to experienced and non-industry experienced candidates, we welcome applications from newly qualified graduates.
