I’d seriously consider applying if I weren’t so busy with things I don’t want to drop (including my existing self-employed business, despite its lack of profit, but also my MA).
It’s the end of January! Hopes to hear something soon.
Please be patient, we have received over 650 applications and are just starting our interview process. Wish we could respond sooner but this takes some time.
Wow 650 that is a lot.
Holy Cow!
Well… who wouldn’t want to work for you? XD
Thanks for letting us know. Appreciate it.
Usually in GDT if we set like 500K as budget for hiring a new member we have around 4-5 candidates… I’m worried on how much you have spent for 650 candidates
Oh my. It’s finally time! I’ve been waiting for interviews to start since I sent my application, counting the days and checking my email (hopelessly! ) nearly every day since! An incredibly slow two weeks…
Good luck to everyone and congratulations in advance to whomever is chosen!
650…
Looks like we all have a lot of competition
I sent my application around last month or so. I am very excited to finally have an opportunity to work in game development/design. I’ve been working with business application design for 8 years and its not very fulfilling.
I certainly hope mine doesn’t get lost in the pile though! I’ve been checking my email every day as well including the spam folder, but, nothing yet. 650 is a lot of hay to sift through to find my needle though!
I have just sent my application in - only just discovered you were hiring - but, now that I’ve sent the email I’m filled with regret. I mentioned all my preferred genres, talked about games that inspired me, but utterly, completely forgot to mention Simulation games!
Your major game is a Sim game, how could I possibly not mention this?!
I hope this won’t impact my application to heavily I can assure you, I’m a lover of Sim games - I’ve played Black & White and its successor untold hours, as well as enjoying The Sims for my fair share.
Ah well, I guess I wait for an email, hopefully!
Dont worry! Not mentioning sim games won’t be detrimental. I prefer RPG/Action games myself and they hired me
Awesome to hear Thanks for replying!
I wonder when I’ll hear back (if I hear back at all that is)!
I’ll have to wait a lot, I sent my application during the 9th-10th february night. I won’t be surprised to be the last to be interviewed
EDIT: Do you have an idea of about how much people you interview in a day?
But… You’re Charlie. How could they not hire you?
Haha thanks
even if I don’t get hired, I hope to at least have the chance for an interview. that would just make my day. but, man, they have a lot of people to filter out.
I wonder how many people they are looking to hire? they advertised for 4 separate positions (although I am sure if they find 1 person who can do everything they will snatch em up quick!).
I applied for the designer/story/tester positions. testing is extremely important and many people don’t have the skills for it, hopefully that will give me an edge. in GDT terms I like to think i have 800 design and 100 tech; certainly enough to become a specialist! I mean that’s like level 3 office talent right there. hiring me at level 2 is like cheating!
whatever the outcome, though, I wish Greenheart luck in their quest! I am sure with 650+ applicants they can find the team they are looking for (…just let me be one of them…) lol!
