Share top Unity & Unreal talent across Tunisian studios
Tunisian game studios are chronically losing top Unity and Unreal Engine talent to Europe due to higher salaries and better working conditions, creating persistent skills shortages.
WeaveTalent is a trusted private network where Tunisian game studios post short-term project needs and 'borrow' pre-vetted developers from fellow studios. Developers stay in Tunisia, earn extra income, and work on varied projects while studios fill skill gaps without expensive European hires.

A trusted network for Tunisian game studios to borrow and lend Unity & Unreal developers for short projects.
Personally invite the 5 largest Tunisian game studios (from personal network or local industry events). Offer them free Pro tier for 6 months if they commit to posting at least 2 projects and lending talent. Use these relationships to seed the initial network effect.
Huge global talent pool
No trust between studios, high fees, not localized
Closed trusted network of studios with studio-to-studio lending model
Focus on game industry freelancers
Primarily US/EU focused with higher rates
Designed for intra-Tunisia collaboration and retention
Network effects — the more studios join, the more valuable the talent pool becomes. Strong trust mechanisms create high switching costs.
The Tunisian game industry has reached critical mass with 40+ studios working on similar engines, creating natural conditions for a talent sharing economy.
Studios may be protective of their best talent
Start with clear rules that developers can only be loaned when they have 20%+ availability and offer home studio a small finder fee
Real-time availability and matching complexity
Begin with weekly availability updates before moving to true real-time
Labor law implications of talent lending
Use standardized secondment-style contracts reviewed by Tunisian labor lawyer
Success: At least 9 studios say they would participate in a closed network
Success: At least 4 successful talent loans completed with positive feedback
Success: Monthly transaction volume exceeds $8,000
