Job Details

We are a crowdfunded company and have a dedicated and enthusiastic community of backers who are helping us create the “Best Damn Space Sim Ever”. We want to build the best we can deliver and we believe wholeheartedly in the value of exceptional diverse talent.

Tech Recruiter (6 month FTC) 

Founded in 2012, Cloud Imperium Games (CIG) is an independent studio creating Star Citizen, a record-breaking multiplayer space sim, and Squadron 42, a cinematic single-player adventure set in the same universe. As a crowdfunded company, we’re supported by a passionate community of backers who share our mission to build the “Best Damn Space Sim Ever.” 
 

We’re at an exciting stage of development and are looking for people who are ready to take on ambitious challenges. Alongside building genre-defining games, we’re committed to delivering an exceptional candidate experience that reflects our creativity and passion. The ideal candidate is a self-starter with a proven track record in technical hiring and the confidence to quickly build strong partnerships with hiring managers.  
 

About the Role 

We’re looking for a passionate and intuitive Tech Recruiter to join us on a 6-month fixed-term contract, supporting hiring across a range of technical disciplines from our Manchester studio. 
 

This role goes beyond simply filling vacancies — it’s about scaling our EU-based teams to help drive delivery on Squadron 42 and other key projects. You’ll play a key part in building sustainable talent pipelines, identifying exceptional technical talent, and ensuring every candidate has a world-class experience from first contact to final offer. 
 

You’ll work closely with hiring managers across our European studios and collaborate with the wider Talent Acquisition team as we continue a major recruitment push to meet the demands of an exciting development roadmap.  

 

What You’ll Be Doing 

  • Managing end-to-end recruitment for tech and engineering roles across CIG’s European studios 

  • Building sourcing strategies to engage top-tier candidates proactively, including for niche and hard-to-fill roles 

  • Partnering with hiring managers to understand team needs and translate them into effective hiring plans 

  • Improving candidate pipelines through direct sourcing methods including headhunting 

  • Ensuring candidates have a seamless and memorable experience from initial outreach to onboarding 

  • Maintaining accurate recruitment data, reporting on pipeline health. 

  • Acting as a recruitment partner, not just a service — giving strategic input and insight to help hiring succeed. 

 

What We’re Looking For 

  • Solid experience in tech and engineering recruitment, ideally within the games, software, or creative industries 

  • A mix of in-house and/or agency experience is welcome — we value adaptability and drive 

  • Proven success sourcing across multiple platforms and using various outreach methods 

  • Confidence in improving and owning recruitment operations (ATS workflows, documentation, metrics) 

  • Ability to work across time zones and support international hiring needs 

  • Strong attention to detail and excellent communication and organisational skills 

  • A collaborative, can-do attitude, we’re a close-knit team that supports each other 

  • A passion for games and the ambition to help build a world-class team 

 

Diversity Statement 

CIG is a global company, staunchly committed to cultivating a culture and workplace that celebrates all backgrounds, lifestyles, and perspectives. Together, we are creating a space where authentic recognition, appreciation, and understanding of the importance of diversity is fostered by everyone. As an Equal Opportunity Employer, we strive to build a team that represents all walks of life, and we want every employee to bring all the things that make them unique to the work environment. The universe is as vast and varied as the people in it, and it’s our differences that make it special. 
 

Fraud Statement 

We are aware of people receiving job offers that fraudulently allege to be from CIG. These types of fraud can be carried out through false websites, fake email addresses claiming to be from our company, or social media. We do not ask for your personal info like bank account numbers, identification numbers, etc through social media or chat-based apps, nor do we request or send money for the purchase of business equipment. 

If you like wild growth and working with happy, enthusiastic over-achievers, you'll enjoy your career with us!
