What is that recruitment process like? Is it just putting a thing on the website, like flypaper, and waiting to see what you catch, or is there a proactive element to this?
TL;DRApplications are all reviewed manually, followed by a qualifying call, a roughly 30-minute hiring manager interview, a role-specific test, and usually an on-site interview, with over 25,000 applications received last year.
So typically someone applies and then my team reviews it. My team reviews every single application that comes through for all the roles that we have. Last year we had over 25,000 applications. So we went through them all manually, which is good, but obviously time consuming. And then we review them, share them with managers. They give us insight or ask us to ask those candidates some questions. And then we have a qualifying call with the candidate to understand more about their motivations, what they're interested in, expectations, and just cover off the usual questions. Then, if that all aligns, an interview with the hiring manager, normally 30 minutes, and then depending on the role, a test of some type: programming test, art test, etc. And then usually, now we're back after COVID, an on-site interview to meet the team, see the studio they could be working in, and then hopefully some success after.
