It would beneficial for me to already be aware of what kind of jobs and opportunities are out there and where they are, so I'm researching into games companies and websites to help for recruitment.
Gamedevmap is a very helpful website that allows you to click on different locations on a map that then gives you information on games companies throughout that location. It also includes the type of things they do, for example: online games, mobile games, if they are a developer or a publisher, and what city exactly they are located in. This means that I can see where exactly the job opportunities may be for me if I am looking the stay in the North which is extremely useful.
Aardvark Swift is, according to them, the first video games recruitment agency. The companies they have worked with includes Square Enix, Activision, Ubisoft and Microsoft among others, all of which appeal to me. There is not much information about working with them but they appear to have decent social networking links that I could possibly get some more information from.
Amiqus is another recruitment agency for the games industry, including both consoles and mobile gaming. Companies that have worked with them include Ubisoft, EA, Sony and Konami which again shows that they can provide jobs at large, successful companies. They ask for a CV which will then allow you to discuss possible career options with one of their specialist consultants, which means that I need to get a finished CV sorted out if I would like to talk to them.
Animation Jobs is a service that I have been following on Twitter since first year, and I've seen quite a range of different jobs pass by on it that sounds interesting, for example - "Character Designer (for CC Animated Show) At Nickelodeon Animation Studio" is a job that is available on the website at the time of this post. Though this website is for animation rather than games, there are still many positions that I would enjoy on there as well.
