Are you looking for entry level talent or someone with more experience? I've been looking to move into the gaming industry a while now (from web development). I have been teaching myself C++/3D game development in my free time and I have a couple of small freelance gaming projects under my belt (one of them used Unity).

Also, to add to this discussion: There doesn't seem to be many good places for people to connect with the type of talent you're looking for. I've been looking for a while now and have managed to find very few such listings. gamasutra's job board seems to be one of the few places with a fair few jobs.

Our main considerations were: 1. Local (SF Bay area) 2. Good background in AI and Game engine/apps 3. VR experience is desired not necessary 4.Loves to solve unsolvable problems of future 5. Good cultural fit
