Roblox has announced a new recruitment center… inside Roblox itself. The in-game experience lets potential candidates explore what it might be like to work at the company without geographic barriers, as long as they have a strong internet connection.<\/p>\n
In an official blog post<\/a>, the company expresses a desire to build a workforce that “embodies a broad range of skills, perspectives, and backgrounds.” The center allows outreach to potential employees who could not be reached through in-person recruitment methods. The experience includes events, podcasts, and conversations with Roblox employees. It can also help those unfamiliar with Roblox itself get acquainted with the platform and its tools.<\/p>\n The experience can also help candidates prepare for their interview. In the in-game library, candidates can find texts to help them prepare. Candidates can also learn more about the company’s problem-solving assessments. They can take practice tests to see what they might experience during interviews. Eventually, candidates will even be able to interview directly inside the experience.<\/p>\n Roblox is one of the biggest games, and social platforms, in the world. The platform has hosted virtual performances from Twenty One Pilots<\/a> and Charli XCX<\/a>. It has collaborated with various brands, including SpongeBob<\/a>, Sonic The Hedgehog<\/a>, and Chipotle<\/a>. It has also faced controversy for its policies related to younger users and its game development tools. Two recent reports from YouTube channel People Make Games<\/a> alleged that the company was exploiting child developers. Earlier this year, the company made changes to its ad policy, ensuring that users under 13 would not see advertisements<\/a>. The platform currently has 65.5 million active users<\/a>, but Roblox has ambitions for one billion.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
