Candidates applying for Influencer Manager had the quickest hiring process (on average 14 days), whereas Senior Social Media Manager roles had the slowest hiring process (on average 60 days).
I was referred to the position by a former colleague in the industry, having known about Freaks 4 U's work through a past company that used their services. Applied online and heard back from their HR within a few days.
Until I got ghosted the process was smooth and professional. Their HR team would regularly reach out via phone to coordinate each step of the recruitment and were very accommodating to my questions and schedule.
Had an initial interview with HR where I was told that I was an excellent fit for the role, salary expectations in line with their budget etc.
Second interview was with the hiring manager who was also a recent hire, format was more of a casual conversation exchanging experiences and industry knowledge than following a set script. Conversation flowed easily and naturally. There was interest in moving fast in order to get me to come with the team to Gamescom (the interviews happened through July, so about a month before the event).
A few days after the interview with the hiring manager I received a call from HR stating "we want you to join us and will send you an offer next week". A week passed without a word until I reached out and was told that instead of the offer, I would have to have one more call with the CEO "to make sure we were aligned on strategy". This happened the week prior to Gamescom.
CEO interview went well, his feedback was that the team was excited to have me on board and that my career path in the industry was impressive and useful for the position. I was told then that with Gamescom starting the following week, they'd make a decision after the event.
Didn't hear back from anyone in the company after several follow up emails and LinkedIn messages. The only update I got was through my former colleague after two months since the last call telling me that there wasn't a job for me.
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Freaks 4U Gaming in Feb 2025
Interview
Gone through 3 rounds of interviews, presented a business case, had a final chat with the hiring manager saying that he would have come back the week after with an offer. Ghosted after that.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Freaks 4U Gaming (Berlin) in Sep 2024
Interview
Really easy going people, good vibes, an internship that perfectly fits my field of study and what I was looking for. I am interested in the department, the industry and the topics and this will help me gain experience. The interview was calm, friendly, a couple of questions about my studies, past experiences, some questions about my CV and skills and questions about availability.
