Reason: Consolidation of information required
See all pages in the works.
The Hypixel Staff rank is the highest and only staff rank which is given to all employees who work at Hypixel, regardless of duties or responsibilities. This rank provides extensive access to server commands and network permissions, allowing them to perform critical tasks necessary for the smooth operation of the server.
Each member of staff has a different role within the server and therefore may have varying levels of access to server and forum permissions. Some responsibilities encompassed into the rank include, but are not limited to development, management, moderation, customer support, video production and game design.
This staff rank was created on April 24, 2025 as the result of both the Administrator and Game Master amalgamating to form one rank.[1]
Application[]
To apply for the rank, one must submit an application on the Jobs page of the Hypixel website or the Hypixel BambooHR page, which should include a resume and other required information. The applicant will then go through Hypixel's application process, which could take anywhere between 2–4 weeks. Applicants must be over 18 years of age.
If an applicant has been contacted at least once, they will always be notified if their application is unsuccessful. The only time they will not be notified is if they were not shortlisted at the start of the application process, meaning they were not contacted.
Hypixel also does not use cameras or video chats, so all interviews are done over voice calls only.
Here are the steps involved:
- Application Shortlisting: Applications are first shortlisted. 1-2 team members relevant to the role being applied for will review the application. If the applicant does not recieve a response, the application will not be considered. The staff team will also ask for more information if needed before moving on to the next stage.
- Screening Interview: Applicants discuss their skills, knowledge, and experiences with one team member.
- Blind Panel Interviews: Applicants go through 3-5 interviews with various team members related to the role to assess skills, culture fit, and work ethic. "Blind" panel means that the interviewers do not discuss the applicant until all the interviews are completed to remove bias. It also helps the interviewee to become more confortable with the team.
- Final Interview: The "boss stage" where the interviewer asks questions based on the discussion from the Blind Panel interviews clearing up any uncertainty brought forth by the team.
- Successful Application: Applicants are notified if they are accepted and welcomed to the Hypixel team!
