Applying For Gaming Industry Jobs - Learn About The Interview Process At Riot Games
At Riot Games, the steps in the interview process are fairly standardized. Once you apply, you can expect to have a preliminary recruiter screen. You'll go into your background details on that call, and the recruiter will tell you more about the role. Then, the first step of the process will be a behavioral screen. Andrea recommends checking out the company values on Riot Games' website because this is the interview where the recruiter will determine if you align to those values (and if you've exemplified them in the past). The second step will likely be a craft screen: For example, in engineering, you can expect a take-home challenge, followed up by a technical phone screen with one of Riot's engineers. And for roles in recruiting, you can expect the craft screen to happen over video, where you will review items like sourcing and closing tactics. From there, you'll experience a virtual onsite panel. You can expect four panels in this step, two behavioral screens and two craft screens, before going ahead and closing the hiring offer.
