Ikea recruits gamers: Earn £105 a day playing Roblox
Ikea has prepared an unusual job offer. The well-known Swedish company is looking for people willing to play the computer game Roblox for money. Recruitment targeting individuals from the United Kingdom and Ireland has already started.
Hourly work involving playing Roblox is made possible through The Co-Worker programme, which starts in late June.
Ikea is looking for employees to play a computer game
The website spidersweb.pl reports that Ikea is looking for people who are interested in playing Roblox. Released in 2006, this educational game allows players to shape their gameplay. The Swedish chain has adapted this popular minigame, especially among younger individuals, to meet its needs.
In Roblox, a digital version of an Ikea store is available. The employee who takes up this offer will perform the same tasks as those employed in actual Ikea stores. For example, they will assist virtual customers in choosing furniture and serving the iconic meatballs in the bistro.
Over £105 per day of playing Roblox
The number of available positions is limited. Ikea plans to hire only 10 people. Recruitment runs from June 3 to June 16, and virtual recruitment interviews are scheduled from June 14 to June 18. Candidates must fill out a short form on The Co-Worker website, where they will answer three creative questions.
Under this offer, Ikea offers a fully remote and flexible job with an hourly rate of £13.15 or €14.80 (approximately $15). This means that an 8-hour workday can earn over £105.
The offer is exclusively for United Kingdom and Ireland citizens who are at least 18 years old. It could be an opportunity to test one's recruitment skills and gain first-job experience during the summer.
