New Hires in Mobile Gaming: Big Fish Games, EA Mobile, Glu Mobile, & More

It’s another interesting week in the mobile recruiting world this week, according to data from LinkedIn. While we have caught word of eight developers showing activity as compared to nine last week, the number of hires per company were rather low. There were a few notable moves, however. Facebook poached Alon Sobol from Mig33 to oversee mobile partnerships in Asia. Also, iOS publisher and developer Villain hired David Hamm as vice president of engineering at Villain HQ.

We know there are many more mobile game and mobile social app developers who are actively growing, so if your company is hiring new people or making a notable promotion, please get in touch with us here: mail (at) insidemobileapps (dot) com. We’ll get your news into an upcoming post.
