Netflix operates at the intersection of technology, entertainment, and mass media. As our Recruiter, you'll fill open positions that might be new to you. How do you approach learning complex titles and terms for jobs new to you?

Netflix has nearly 40 teams listed on its careers page, all with a range of open job opportunities. If hired, you'll be required to research a vast range of job titles and responsibilities.

Some of your best research resources will include Google search, industry-specific forums, job-specific podcasts, and researching the job descriptions posted by competing companies with similar job openings. You might even want to go online and find people with job titles that align with the one for which you're looking to build a talent pipeline. You can find similar people on LinkedIn and take note of their education, career progression, and accountabilities.

As a Netflix Recruiter, you will learn about jobs and skillsets that you may not have even known existed! It can be a challenge to keep up with all industry terminology, so a strong recruitment professional will have a genuine appreciation for gathering research and obtaining new knowledge.

Show the interviewers that you are receptive and ready to learn. Discuss how you approach learning industry terminology for roles that are new to you. If you have a story of a specific time you encountered this situation, take the opportunity to provide a real-life example of when you filled the knowledge gap and overcame the challenge.

"In my current recruitment role with Company XYZ, we hire many professionals for our growing core engineering team. I often have to start building a talent pipeline for a job title that is new to me. For instance, last month, one of the department managers asked me to source a Games Ecosystems Solutions Engineer. I took the job details, conducted research, and read a few tech-related forums online. It turned out that this was a title that essentially described a Full Stack Engineer. I began by researching competing companies with large Full Stack Engineering teams and began my talent reach-outs from that starting point. If hired as a Netflix Recruiter, I will apply this same desire to learn and understand. If I am unsure of a particular job function or credential, I will analyze and explore until I fully understand the exact skills I need to uncover in my search."
