COVID-19 UPDATE

How we’re hiring during the Pandemic.

As we enter another week of lockdown let’s take a look at how our hiring practices have changed. We are still continuing to recruit and in fact since Lockdown has been in place we have hired three more developers and successfully onboarded new starters.

So what has changed?

  • All stages of the interview process now happen via video conferencing. 
  • The final stage that would generally take place at the studio now happens via video conferencing and remote testing. So let’s take a Code interview as an example:
  • You’ll apply through:  https://www.climaxstudios.com/#jobs
  • The recruitment team will be in touch to request code samples and demos if they haven’t been included.
  • We’ll schedule an initial video call to go through the role and to arrange a tech based conversation with our Technical Director.
  • If these go well, we will progress to an online test; you’ll be sent a link by the T.D. and will need to set aside around two hours. Be prepared for some questions based around C++ and then there will be some problem solving using a digital white board.

If you have any questions about anything related to recruitment at Climax Studios during this time do not hesitate to contact Stu, our Recruitment Manager on: stu@climaxstudios.com
