Applications for paid roles in ‘The Co-worker Game’ are open from today until Sunday, 16th June.

IKEA has unveiled a first look at ‘The Co-Worker Game’, a virtual universe coming to Roblox on June 24th. The immersive experience gives players the opportunity to experience IKEA's unique approach to careers where non-linear career journeys are the norm and lateral moves across departments are commonplace.

Applications for roles in the virtual store open today (3rd June, 2024) and close on Sunday 16th June, with paid shifts for 10 new co-workers up for grabs. Successful applicants will be able to flex their skills, help customers, and get promoted to move departments, just like in the real world.   

Alongside the paid co-workers, the broader Roblox community, gamers and IKEA fans alike will be able to work, explore and experience the virtual world of IKEA on Roblox.They can venture to IKEA’s famous Swedish Food Market and Bistro and serve up endless amounts of meatballs or stop over at the various showrooms and use famous IKEA products to organise the space – say hello to HEMNES heaven. All with the chance to win exclusive IKEA UGCs.

Virtual interviews for shortlisted applicants will take place for this fully remote virtual role between Thursday, 14th and Tuesday, 18th June 2024. Each successful applicant will be paid an hourly IKEA Co-Worker rate for their time on the game.  

IKEA on Roblox, developed by The Gang, a Swedish game design company, launches on June 24th.

The recruitment process includes a questionnaire and will require an updated CV – videos can also be submitted, and if successful, applicants will be invited to a digital interview. Candidates need to be over 18 and live in the UK or Ireland.

Successful applicants will be paid £13.15/hr, the IKEA hourly rate of pay for a London co-worker. As a Living Wage Foundation employer, our rate of pay is aligned with the foundation's real living wage.

That wage still sounds crappy for London cost of living

 

The cost of living crisis truly is global. Everyone sh*t talks their own Country they live in but it seems to be an issue everywhere
