Jobs in the Gaming Industry: Transparent Hiring at Notix.Games

How We Build Teams for the Future: A Transparent and Values-Driven Hiring Process

Going through our hiring process feels like a journey of mutual discovery. From the first meeting, you’re encouraged to share your story openly. The technical tasks challenge your creativity and real-world problem-solving, while discussions with leaders make you feel valued for your unique perspective. Every step is clear, respectful, and collaborative, leaving you inspired—no matter the outcome. Curious how we achieved this? Let’s dive in, and we’ll share all the details!

In a fast-changing business world, our strength lies in people who can not only adapt but thrive amid transformation. We believe that culture begins with those who join us, so our recruitment process reflects the values and approaches we cultivate within the company.

How Our Values Shape the Recruitment Process

Our principles are not just words—they form the foundation of every interaction with those wanting to start their careers at Notix.Games. Recruitment for us is a two-way process where we showcase our culture and candidates highlight their strengths. Here’s how each value is reflected in our hiring approach:

1. Freedom

We create a space for open self-expression. HOW?

Example: "In interviews, we always ask candidates, 'What do you enjoy most about your work?' and 'What tasks would you prefer not to do?'. This helps us understand their priorities and honestly discuss possible roles."

2. Results

We evaluate achievements, not just CVs.

Example: "One candidate shared how they automated processes, saving their company 100 monthly work hours. We focused on this accomplishment rather than their formal experience."

3. Trust

At Notix.Games, we value honesty and readiness to learn. We provide honest and transparent information on our challenges and needs.

Example: "At one stage, a candidate admitted they had no experience with a specific technology. We appreciated their honesty and willingness to learn, offering additional resources and a development task."

4. Data as the Basis

Decisions are made based on facts, not intuition.

Example: "We use evaluation sheets and clear criteria for each stage to avoid bias and ensure every candidate has an equal opportunity."

5. Responsibility

We look for people ready to take the initiative.

Example: "One interview question is: 'Tell us about a time you noticed a problem and proposed a solution on your own.' This helps us understand how candidates take ownership."

6. 'Yes' to Any Experience

We value diverse career paths. Whether you have gaming jobs online or not, you can still work at Notix.Games.

Example: "One of our guys started as a teacher. This experience taught them how to explain complex concepts simply—a skill that became key to our team."

7. Value of Time

We respect your time and expectations.

Example: "If a candidate doesn’t pass a stage, we provide feedback within 24 hours and explain the reasons so they can move forward."

8. Determination

We seek those who are unafraid of challenges.

Example: "In one task, a candidate proposed an unconventional solution that initially didn’t work, but they kept refining it until it succeeded. This demonstrated their persistence."

9. Searching for Solutions

We evaluate problem-solving abilities, not just adherence to instructions.

Example: "In technical interviews, we give tasks with incomplete information to see how candidates ask questions and structure their solutions."

10. Open Communication

We build dialogue, not exams. No one will judge your failures but your ability to learn from mistakes.

Example: "During the case discussion stage, we always ask candidates for feedback: 'What did you like about the process, and what could we improve?'."

11. Respect

We treat candidates with attention and empathy. We come on time for an interview and do not reschedule less than 24 hours before the interview.

Example: "One of our interviewers learned that a candidate was dealing with personal matters. We offered to reschedule the interview to a more convenient time so they could feel comfortable."

12. No to Toxicity

We foster a healthy work atmosphere.

Example: "If a candidate speaks negatively about their previous team or colleagues during an interview, we discuss their approach to resolving conflicts and assess their readiness for constructive work."

13. Change

We value adaptability and openness to new things.

Example: "At one stage, we ask, 'Tell us about a time you faced significant changes in a project or at work. How did you handle it?' This helps us understand how candidates embrace change."

14. Turquoise Values

We appreciate self-organization and mindfulness.

Example: "One interview question is: 'How do you organize your workday in a low-control environment?' This helps us gauge their level of self-organization and maturity."

• Practice explaining technical concepts clearly and concisely to non-specialist audiences.

5. Offer

After all the interview sessions, all interviewers get together to give feedback on what was good and what could have been better and weigh in with a yes or no.

For now, we require unanimous approval for all offers. We can usually make a decision within a couple of days of the last interview.

If we extend an offer, your potential manager and recruiter will walk you through the details on a call.

Transparency and Respect

Each stage of recruitment is accompanied by honest and constructive feedback. Our process ensures that candidates feel heard and respected.
