Our Focus
Play Ventures Oy focuses on finding talent across 4 core areas
Why the industry trusts Play Ventures Oy
I've exclusively used the team at Play Ventures Oy across my last 2 organizations. In my time working with them, they've successfully found people for a number of different types and levels of roles for me. Each time, they've taken the time to understand exactly what I'm looking for, delivered quickly, and to an extremely high standard. If you're looking for a Recruiting partner rather than just another recruitment agency, I recommend using Play Ventures Oy.
President
Digital Transformation Consultancy
We partnered with The Developer link for a fast turn-around, high volume, developer hiring plan. This involved a rigorous multiple agency screening and presentation process. We chose them because they took the time to get to know the teams needs and understand our business values through regular meetings and workshops. Resulting in a great partnership and some successful Dev, QA and Devops hires.
Director of Engineering
SaaS Construction Startup
The Developer link team are my go to partner for Developer recruitment and have been across multiple companies I've been involved in. They are able to react quickly to urgent job briefs whether contract or full time hires, which is a must when you're working in the demanding, client driven, Digital Agency world. Their focus on this space means they are always able to consult on current day rates, salaries, availability of niche skillsets and anything else we need in order to accurately quote our clients down the chain.
MD
Digital Product Agency
We have partnered with Play Ventures Oy for our Engineering roles for 2 years now. They have been on the journey with us from when we were a small 30 person organisation, right through to our recent scaling as part of Series B funding.In that time they have been successful in finding us high quality candidates with niche skillsets to meet the demands of our business.
Play Ventures Oy act as a true partner to our business - their approach is thorough, honest, collaborative and is a reason for our longstanding relationship with them. Due to their presence in both the UK and the US we were also able to enlist their support to find roles as we have grown our presence in the US.

Our Proven Process
At Play Ventures Oy, we're not just another recruitment agency, we're a partner.
Every company is different. So we work with our clients to really understand what they need, and put together a process that works for everyone involved, and ultimately, get people onboard.
Step One - Intake
We will schedule a call with you to assess your position and procedures. During the call, we will run through the job description, as well as the soft skills required for the position. Additionally, we will delve into your recruitment process and collaborate with you to make any necessary adjustments.
Step Two - Outreach
We use everything from job boards to LinkedIn to Github, and our own event communities, to source exceptional talent for our clients. However, finding individuals is only one aspect of the challenge. Our strategy involves customising our approach alongside our clients to ensure the messaging is right. Finally, we personalise our communication to each candidate to achieve the highest possible response rate.
Step Three - Qualification
At this stage, we take all the insights gained from the intake call to ensure that candidates not only possess the necessary qualifications but also show genuine interest in your position. We ensure that the candidates complete thorough research prior to being submitted, rather than afterwards.
Step Four - Interviews
We will handle the entire process for you. We will work with you to schedule interviews, ensure candidates are adequately prepared, manage feedback, and facilitate their progression through your selection process. We will also ensure you are kept informed about the candidates’ timelines.
Step Five - Offers
Once you’ve found a candidate you want to extend an offer to, the process is not yet complete. In today’s competitive industry, candidates often receive multiple offers simultaneously, while companies are increasingly focused on retaining their existing employees. Therefore, we’ll collaborate closely with you to ensure that the offer you present is compelling and competitive. Additionally we will manage the negotiation process on your behalf and provide guidance to the candidate regarding their resignation.
Step Six - Onboarding
Once the new hire has started their role, we’ll mostly leave it to your onboarding roadmap. Nevertheless, we remain actively involved by consistently monitoring their progress during the first initial weeks and months to ensure a smooth transition. Should we identify any potential concerns, we will communicate these with you to get them resolved.
