I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Play‘n GO in Sept 2025
Interview
Was informed on timelines and dates to hear back from the hiring manager about code tests and next steps, but was ghosted without hearing any news back at all. Was told that I would hear back by certain times, but never did even after reaching out. Was later just provided a generic, no hire email.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The code questions were relatively simple, such as some SQL and mid-level leetcode questions.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Play‘n GO in July 2021
Interview
The entire application process was completed in just one day. I was referred by a former teammate from a previous company, which helped speed things up. I only had one interview—with the former Head of HR—since the hiring manager was on maternity leave at the time. I was genuinely impressed by how streamlined the process was, and the fact that I didn’t need to be interviewed by the hiring manager gave me the impression that there was a strong level of trust in the referral and in the team’s judgment.

Question 1
The behavioral and situational questions focused primarily on my experience in Recruitment and HR. I was asked to share specific examples of how I handled challenging hiring scenarios, collaborated with stakeholders, and managed competing priorities. There were also questions aimed at understanding how I approach candidate experience, adapt to changing business needs, and contribute to employer branding efforts. Overall, the interview was structured to assess both my technical skills and how I align with the company’s values and working culture.
