We can connect you to the right people for your growing business

Attracting, keeping and developing staff is crucial for every organisation, and London has a large cross section of skills and experience in almost every industry.

Think London can help:

• Find the best specialist and proven recruitment agencies
• Make sure you find the right staff — from senior executives, middle management to administrative employees — to build your business
• Exploit funding opportunities for training and further education
• Benchmark salary packages
• Understand new employment practices and law

For many companies the need to retain and develop staff in a highly competitive market place is a critical element of their HR strategy. The LDA is committed to improving the skills of London’s working population and Think London and the LDA are working with key strategic organisations to set up bespoke skills and training initiatives to help companies, in a variety of industries, to address these issues;

Think London can work with organisations to:

• Identify specific skills gaps and build industry relevant solutions
• Exploit available government resources and grants 
• Assess strengths and resources of training providers (universities and colleges), including associated costs
• Seek interest in participation from skills providers
• Implement skills and training programmes

The programme will focus on a number of key areas of the games development process which could be dipped into at relevant points by segments of the organisation. A vital part of the process will involve identifying those people in London’s Universities with specific industry experience. Going forward how the different parties interact will need to be formalized and Think London is prepared to manage the implementation of the framework in this respect.
