At Bungie, our games are only made possible by combining the talents of a diverse range of professionals who blend stunning art and cutting edge technology to create immersive experiences beloved by millions of people around the world. Our employees are the heart and soul of the organization and products we deliver. As our company grows, so must the team that looks after our people. We’re looking to add a Contract Associate Recruiter to our team to support our early in career and internship hiring! This individual will play a key role supporting our University Relations/new graduate programs and full cycle recruitment efforts. This is a unique opportunity to partner with studio leadership, hiring managers and the people team to bring fresh talent into our studio.

Estimated Duration: 12 months

With the uncertainty and rapidly changing circumstances surrounding COVID-19, most positions at Bungie are expected to onboard and work from home for a significant portion of 2021. In 2022, most Bungie employees will adopt a flexible schedule working from home part time (outside of positions identified as either 100% onsite or fully remote in WA & CA). Currently only a select range of positions are available for full-time remote work in WA & CA (please review location for details). Prospective employees located outside of CA & WA will need to establish WA state residency within 45 days of a start date. Bungie’s work from home, flexible work schedule, and remote policy is subject to change at the company’s discretion.
