MrBeast Producer Interview Questions
& Process

It was a good interview. The people I spoke with were nice and informative. They took the time to answer my questions and provided details about the role, relocation expectations, and pay. It's worth noting that all candidates are required to relocate to Greenville, NC, which might not be ideal for everyone.

Recruiters reached out to me and I was ghosted after responding. Then a different recruiter reached out, unaware of the prior contact. That conversation went well and I had interviews with a few people over several weeks. The next step was a week-long studio visit, which I blocked off my calendar for. Then they stopped responding to emails entirely, which was inconsiderate as I was talking to other employers. I was no longer interested and took another job. A month later, the first recruiter contacted me AGAIN, asking me to take a 30-minute personality test. I took it and selected a time slot out of curiosity, and was ghosted a third time. This disorganized and inconsiderate process makes me question what working on the team would be like.

The interview process took about 2 weeks from application to the second interview, involving two main stages. First was a phone screen with an internal recruiter, which was standard and informative. Then, a Zoom call with the Head of Talent Acquisition. This second interview felt a bit unusual, typical for a grassroots creative production company with less experienced operations staff. It seemed like they wanted to deter candidates with the tasks, but the requirements were in line with normal production standards. The interviewer was late, conducted the interview from her phone with poor audio, and appeared disorganized. The interview, scheduled for 30 minutes, was cut short to about 20 minutes due to the late start. It was mostly behavioral questions related to production. I was presented with a scenario about contestants in glass boxes needing to use the bathroom and asked for a solution. I suggested a curtain-based privacy shield, which was rejected as against the rules. I was given illogical hurdles and limited time to find a creative solution due to the interviewer's lateness and roadblocks. I was asked to provide a solution within 30 minutes, with the possibility of a call from the 'boss man' at an unspecified time, followed by a potential trip to NC the next day. I followed up via email with three solutions within 25 minutes. Two were rejected, but I stood by the third, an industry-standard modification of my initial idea, which was deemed acceptable. Despite this, I was ghosted. Later, a video was released showing a privacy-shielded cage on wheels, similar to my suggestion. I followed up again two weeks later and was ghosted once more.
