I suppose there was a time when the considered conducting interviews over Zoom or Skype was remarkable, so maybe the concept of interviewing candidates inside digital worlds is not such a wild idea. Particularly when, in Roblox’s case, the digital world you are interviewing inside is for the very platform you are attempting to work for.
The Roblox Profession Middle is touted as an “immersive expertise” the place would-be candidates can drop in for info all about working for the corporate. A weblog publish from VP of expertise acquisition Jason Buss guarantees it to be a spot the place “candidates can study extra in regards to the advanced technical challenges we’re tackling and the innovation we’re driving by means of immersive occasions, podcasts and conversations with Roblox workers.”
There are locations to go and hearken to clips of Roblox’s podcast whereas your character sits awkwardly stiff, completely upright with their arms sitting rigidly both facet. There’s additionally “a curated number of books and different studying supplies” to assist wannabe workers put together for interviews, plus “a wide range of digital, immersive occasions” that the corporate is planning to carry all year long.
Roblox even desires to begin interviewing its candidates proper inside the sport (or expertise, as they desperately need you to name it) someday within the close to future. “Coming quickly, we’ll be inviting candidates to conduct sure preliminary interviews straight inside the expertise,” the weblog publish states. Personally I could not think about positioning my awkwardly stiff doll subsequent to a recruiter’s equally awkwardly stiff doll to conduct an interview that might doubtlessly form my future, however what do I do know?
I suppose it is a relatively attention-grabbing idea, and one which will assist first-time profession hunters be extra snug in the event that they’ve grown up taking part in Roblox. Anybody can go to the profession centre, whether or not they’re job-hunting or not, so if you happen to fancy studying “about Roblox on Roblox,” you possibly can head over there proper now and examine it now.
