A recruiter/HR person, claiming to be from Insomniac reached out to me, and asked me to download an app to apply. Is this real or a scam?
Any communication coming from Insomniac Games will come from the @insomniacgames.com domain. Any other domain is not from Insomniac. Additionally, our recruiting team corresponds with all candidates via email and all interviews are conducted currently via Zoom; never through text, or any other app. Should you receive a suspicious email- please reach out to hrinfo@insomniacgames.com and we can verify if we indeed sent the email.

What If I don’t see a job that fits my skill set? How often do you update your jobs?
Please keep an eye on our website for the role that does fit your skill set. We are always posting new opportunities, and look forward to hearing from you.

When will I hear from you about my application?
We review all submissions within 72 hours and reach out to qualified candidates within 7-10 days.

Do you offer internships?
Yes, we do! We post our internships in the fall for the upcoming spring/summer. Our interns are active participants in the creation of our games, and we look forward to this program each year. You must be a full-time student or a recent college graduate (within 12 months from the start of the internship).

How do I get into the video game industry?
While we cannot advise you on which school to attend or the classes to take, we do encourage you to go to school. Most of our artists have BFA’s and our programmers have computer science or engineering degrees. Your school’s academic advisers can suggest specific programs. While in college or a specialized game school, try to get an internship to gain on-the-job experience.

What should be on my demo reel or online portfolio?
We recommend only putting your best work on your demo reel or online portfolio. A concise reel is always appreciated – we will ask to see more work if we need to.
