   How to hire people for a game company?
  hello everyone, I am just wondering in making a video game company indie or big how do you hire people to join your video game company. This question may sound noobish an i am probably right, but how to i find people i know there is forums and you can find people to help long distance but i don't want to work like that i like to work in person. So how do i find people to join a game company in a local area that can work on a game in person instead of say someone in a different region. I am just wondering so I would appreciate if you could help me. ThanksArmbuck   
  Best way to answer that is to spin it around into the question -- "how do I find a job at a game company?"Once you know where people look to find jobs, then that's where you advertise.Alternatively, you hire a recruiter.   ;  Big companies post job ads on job sites and on their own sites' job pages.Small companies looking for locals would be better off putting ads in the local newspapers.Really hard to answer the question without knowing more about why you have to ask this and what other special circumstances make your situation unusual.Note: this was only about companies. Doing hiring.Just noticed that your post also asked about indies.Indie recruiting unpaid members? Entirely different question. Should not even be asked in the same question as about hiring.   ;  If this is a game company, you should ask your lawyer.  There are several legal requirements when becoming an employer.  Your lawyer should also help you with the various employment contracts your business will require.
