Blizzard Entertainment games don’t just begin with game ideas, or end once those games are released. A lot more goes into the creation of a Blizzard product than the work of developers—and we support our games for years after they’re in the hands of gamers world-wide. As part of Blizzard Operations, the Talent Acquisition team is on a mission to question the conventional, challenge the traditional, and ultimately rewrite our rulebook on how we bring the best talent in the world home to Blizzard Entertainment. With over 4000 employees in nine countries supporting six active franchises across multiple channels serving tens of millions of dedicated players, we are a complex business with equally complex hiring needs.
Blizzard Entertainment's university relations (UR) program was established to develop meaningful and mutually beneficial relationships with schools and universities, which allows us to identify and foster talent to meet our ever-growing hiring needs. The UR Recruiter is responsible for facilitating a variety of programs to promote and enhance Blizzard Entertainment's campus visibility with university departments, career centers, and student organizations. This position reports to the associate manager of university relations.
