How We Recruit

A lot of companies have fun and quirky processes for deciding who gets onto their graduate programme. We keep our recruitment process short and straightforward, focusing on assessing the qualities that we know are essential for success within our company.

We hire graduates who either excel in or show a natural inclination for analytical thinking, and our hiring decision is primarily based on a test that examines three essential qualities:

  • Quantitative skills
  • Qualitative skills
  • The ability to learn new things.

If this sounds like the kind of opportunity you're interested in you’ll thrive at 2K. So, we encourage you to apply for our graduate programme.

What makes our Grad Programme so great? 

Prepare to embark on an exhilarating journey with our renowned Grad Programme. At 2K Games, we understand the importance of nurturing talent, and that's why our Grad Programme is a game-changer (pun intended!). With a jam-packed 21-month programme, you'll dive headfirst into an adventure that kicks off after initial training.  The initial onboarding & training gets everyone to the same level with specific skills to set you up for success.

Then the excitement truly begins when you start to explore various facets of the gaming industry and discover where your true passions lie. Imagine the thrill of embarking on rotation adventures in our international offices, expanding your horizons and experiencing different cultures (visa & availability permitting, of course).

Publishing: Beyond Books and into the Gaming World

Let's debunk a common misconception together. Publishing isn't limited to books alone—it encompasses so much more! In our vibrant world, publishing extends to everything beyond game development. Picture yourself managing advertising, both externally and within our games, coordinating budget spend, delving into marketing technology, shaping live services within the games, spearheading growth initiatives, unraveling player insights and analytics, crafting global marketing strategies, and implementing go-to-market plans. These exhilarating rotations are just a taste of what our Grad Programme has to offer.

What will I be doing?

Our graduate programme will begin in July 2025 and it is a 21-month programme.

Our graduate programme offers a fantastic opportunity for you to embark on a rotation-based journey. You'll have the chance to experience different areas of our business in Dublin, as well as the possibility of a rotation in one of our international offices. This programme is all about empowering you to shape your own graduate experience, as we match your learning goals with our business needs.

We have an array of teams eager to help our talented grads develop new skills and thrive. Our ultimate goal is to equip every graduate with three essential skill sets: analytical, technical, and commercial. While not everyone possesses all three initially, we believe these skills are crucial for success in 2K. We're seeking smart individuals like you, who have the potential to develop and grow these skills with us.  Learn more about some of our teams here.

Show Me the Money!

Now, let's talk about the perks! As a valued member of our Grad Programme, you'll enjoy a starting salary of €39,000, with salary reviews during the course of the programme. But that's not all—we offer an array of benefits and perks to make your experience even more rewarding. Private medical insurance, a pension scheme, dental insurance, an annual bonus, life insurance, a company phone with expenses covered, a monthly fitness allowance, an office gym, personal training sessions, physio, free food and so much more. 

What happens after the Grad Programme?

After 21 months of our programme, our talented graduates have the opportunity to specialize and transition into specific permanent roles within our business. Whether you choose to work in digital marketing or explore exciting avenues like marketing technology or analytical teams, the possibilities are vast.

By that point, you will have received comprehensive training in a range of essential skills. From mastering advanced Excel to our unique approach to work and project management, you'll be equipped with a well-rounded skill set. This ensures that you'll be well-prepared to tackle any e-commerce role and thrive in it.

At the core of our graduate programme is the goal of nurturing future leaders within our organization. We are fully committed to attracting and hiring the most exceptional people, providing them with excellent training, and paving the way for their successful careers with us.
