The Roblox Company is making a bold move: it will start interviewing future job applicants using its own game world. Roblox is known for its unique player-made games, which range between all possible gameplay styles, and this is only possible by the collaboration of several creative users and excellent tools made by the professionals hired by the company.

Roblox is one of the most popular online game platforms ever created. The website has more than 66 million daily users, a sum that dwarfs most AAA games out there. Some data even indicated that half of the kids in America were playing Roblox a few years ago, being one of the most popular apps with children. To continue its growth, the company is ready to refine its hiring process to make it more inclusive and effective.

Now, Roblox has officially announced the Roblox Career Center. This will be a virtual space that will aim to “eliminate geographical boundaries,” allowing people from all over the world to get job interviews in the company, which may include actual interviews and problem-solving assessments. It will also allow prospective workers to get more insight into how it’ll be to work at the company and see if they know the game well and are familiar with players’ creations in Roblox. At the moment, this virtual environment is not yet live, but The Roblox Company affirms it’ll be available soon.

Job recruiting is not everything that the Roblox Career Center will be about. This virtual area will have an Innovation Lab where people can learn more about Roblox, listen to stories from folks who worked there, and even prepare for the interview by reading the preparation material available. In short, the goal is to offer a full, immersive experience that may allow the current team to select the best candidates, no matter where they’re from.

Roblox continues to be successful, despite a few hiccups along the way, such as when Roblox lost $300 million in the third quarter of 2022. In any case, the company’s daily active users increased by 24% in the same timeframe. However, a few persistent issues prevent Roblox from achieving its full potential. For instance, Roblox servers are frequently out, due to how many users the platform has. So, perhaps hiring more people and improving the overall infrastructure can also give more stability to the game and solve this long-standing issue.

Roblox is available on PC, Mobile, and Xbox One.
