Challenges

Grow fast without tripping over borders

Studios scale in bursts — a greenlight, a port, a live-ops crunch — and the hiring paperwork rarely keeps up.

Finding specialists

Senior engine, netcode and pipeline people are scarce and rarely in one city.

Local labour law

Every new market adds its own notice periods, holiday rules and filings.

HR and payments

Paying 14 currencies on time is a full-time job before anyone builds a game.

Loopwork gave Hollowpine one payroll instead of nine

Hollowpine moved onboarding, HR records and payroll onto Loopwork ahead of their console launch. Contracts now come out of one template set, records match across countries, and nobody spends a Friday reconciling spreadsheets by hand.

Support that answers

A named account lead plus in-app chat with a median first reply of 84 seconds, measured across last quarter.

Automation you can shape

A documented API and 37 platform connectors. Tune onboarding, terminations and contract changes country by country.

A happier team

12 withdrawal methods, local perks, advance requests and a multi-currency debit card your team can actually use.
