Game On for Talent: Unleashing Hidden Potential in Gaming's Uncharted Talent Territories
summary
A community-driven platform called Nerd Advisor is live in alpha and implements a challenge arena where employers post task-based tests, award badges and coaching spots, and reviewers from AAA and indie teams provide feedback. The project reports 20 alpha signups, aims for ~200 beta testers and an April launch in the EU, handles IP and data-security rules, and frames hiring as skills demonstrated through evaluated challenges rather than résumé keywords.
