Ascent Group OnRec Awards Finalists

Ascent Group nominated at the 2025 OnRec Awards!

We’ve got some seriously exciting news from across the Ascent Group – and we couldn’t wait to share it with the gaming and immersive tech community!

TechNET Immersive, along with our Ascent Group sister brands, has been shortlisted at the OnRec Awards 2025! Here’s what we’re in the running for:

  • Best Innovation in Recruitment
  • Best Use of Responsible AI

Pretty awesome, right? These nominations shine a spotlight on the bold, boundary-pushing work happening not just across the group, but right here in immersive and gaming recruitment, where we’re helping shape the future of hiring.

Innovation in gaming & immersive tech recruitment

The immersive space is always evolving, and fast. New technologies, new studios, new game mechanics…it’s all go. That’s why we’ve built a recruitment strategy that keeps pace with the industry, not just reacts to it.

At TechNET Immersive, we’re not just filling roles. We’re connecting visionaries with studios, projects and teams that share their passion. We’re helping hiring managers think bigger. And we’re always exploring smarter ways to source, engage, and place the best talent out there.

This nomination for Best Innovation in Recruitment is a huge nod to the way we approach hiring in these spaces. Whether it’s partnering with studios launching the next AAA title, helping scale teams for XR product launches or finding creative coders for game-changing metaverse experiences, our approach is agile, bespoke and always forward-thinking.

Our take on AI: Ethical, efficient and human-first

Let’s be real – AI is everywhere. But using it responsibly? That’s what really counts.

Across Ascent Group, including right here at TechNET Immersive, we’ve made it our mission to use AI to support better, fairer hiring decisions, not replace the human touch. Whether we’re reducing bias in shortlisting, improving speed-to-hire, or enhancing the candidate journey, our AI tools are always used with transparency and care.

That’s why we’re also up for Best Use of Responsible AI. And it’s a recognition we’re truly proud of.

What’s next?

Winners are announced in September – and yes, we’ll be refreshing our inbox a lot until then. But no matter what happens, we’ll keep doing what we do best: connecting brilliant immersive talent with the projects that push the industry forward.

To everyone who’s partnered with us, worked with us, or joined our community – thank you. This one’s for you.

Stay tuned for updates – and fingers crossed for a win!
