GAMES TESTER APPLICATION FORM
Thank you for your interest in the position of Games Tester at SEGA Europe Limited. Our Quality Assurance team is
located at the First Floor Offices, Canberra House, 266-270 Gunnersbury Avenue, Chiswick, London W4 5QB.
This year we will recruit a number of additional Games Testers on zero hours contracts. A zero hours contract means
that employee’s work on an ‘as and when required’ basis giving both SEGA and the employee a degree of flexibility.
For example SEGA may be able to offer an employee 4 continuous weeks of work allowing the employee to work a
maximum of 37.5 hours per week and after may only be able to offer 2 further weeks of work based on 20 hours per
week each. The employee, unless they have committed otherwise, is under no obligation to work the full amount of
hours on offer rather they indicate in advance what they’re able to commit to.
Our rates of pay begin at £6.00 per hour for employees who do not have previous games testing experience, rising to
£6.50 per hour for employees with over 6 months games testing experience. Experience is preferred.
In order to be considered for a position, you are required to complete all the information requested in this Application
Form, and send this, along with a copy of your CV to [email protected]. Only applications with both an Application
Form and CV will be considered.
Once we have received your application form the selection process will be as follows:
1. Screening of completed application forms and CV’s
2. Candidates who are invited to attend an assessment centre can expect to meet 2 – 3 people from the SEGA
team who will conduct the assessment. Questions designed to assess organisation and team fit will be
asked. You will also be expected to do a practical exercise that will involve bug testing a game and
communicating the bugs found both verbally and in written format Applicants will also be required to sit a
written test which covers language ability, writing, mathematics, logic and general games industry knowledge.
If the set score for candidates is not met during this test then applicants will not be asked to continue the
recruitment day.
Due to the volume of applications that SEGA Europe Limited receives, it may not always be possible to respond to
every application. I hope that you understand the constraints around this process.
Best of luck, and don’t forget to forward your CV with this Application Form.
Kind regards,
Julian Davidson
