What is the hiring process at Gamestop?

Application Process

Check GameStop's careers website to view in-store and corporate positions. For in-store positions, you can apply online or at the store location. For all other positions, you will need to use GameStop's career website.

Online applicants submit the required documents, even if referred by a current employee, and await contact to schedule a job interview. In instances of numerous applicants vying for the same job, workers may not hear back from the retailer for a couple of weeks or even a few months.

Some stores may impose multiple interviews for hiring consideration regardless of the position.

Interview Sessions

Interviews are usually onsite and may include one-on-one or group interviews with other candidates. Anticipate questions about your favorite video game series, favorite consoles, favorite characters, or thoughts on certain trends, such as gameplay, graphics, new releases, and publications.
