Recruiter

Talent Acquisition at Electronic Arts is more than recruiting, although we do that, too! Our goal is to create a vibrant, fun and diverse workplace where coming to work feels more like play. We do this by partnering with hiring teams to come up with effective and inclusive hiring strategies. It’s on us to get talent seen at EA and help them thrive here. We remove barriers in the hiring process to ensure that every candidate feels welcome at every step of the process. We’re a group of creative, forward-thinking and close-knit collaborators who need more great ideas on how to create the incredible teams that are building the future of play.
