Any recommendations for gaming recruitment agencies / headhunters?

Hi Elphas, this is probably a very specific ask, would appreciate any leads!

A friend of mine is a Lead Game Artist and worked on games that won awards from PlayStation etc. They are based in a country in Asia but would like to find a job in North America and relocate there. I used to work in Talent Acquisition but none of my contacts are in North America. Would anyone have recommendations of agencies they could get in touch with?

Would also appreciate any tips for joining gaming job communities or gaming job boards!

Thanks a lot in advance 🙏
