Imagine a place where spells and technology combine to create a mature fantasy world. Imagine an office, where tempting sorceresses and brave knights combine their effort to make real magic happen. Sounds great? Well, that's our workplace at CD Projekt RED. We're looking for people, who will work on a great fantasy RPG, so prepare to play your role in creating a dark fantasy realm.

It represents an opportunity for you to create a grand new project from the ground up!

Wow I'm impressed that you guys are approaching the indie developers. Though I'm not at all surprised. I don't really fancy living in Poland for 2 years, but I wish you all the best of luck with this project. After the Witcher games I know you can make another mark in video gaming history.

I, as I'm sure many other people here, would gladly move to the dark side of the moon for the oppertunity to work on a real, commercial game project.

Makes me leery, never seen or heard of that being required on a job applcation anywhere. Thats something that is required after your accepted. Plus the fact they want the best of the best and industry experience yet posting on an indie site doesnt add up. Just my two cens

Just kidding! It also applies to off-duty hours :)
(That act is what separates Europe from America - you won't stay on file forever, and they'll only store what they need to potentially offer you a job later in case they receive your CV now and pick somebody else. The "in so far as this is required" bit is also working in your favour if they should screw up and you want to make a case out of it. What's considered necessary here is rather limited, fortunately.)

Don't worry about that, Randy. It just means they will process you for food if you should die on duty.Just kidding! It also applies to off-duty hours :)

But some countries have laws requiring all sorts of permissions to be explicitly given, or else the employer can get in trouble. It's nothing nefarious. Dig a little on the web, and you'll at least find that reference. The gov.pl pages aren't loading at all for me, but the summaries are decent enough.

That particular law is a Polish variation of similar things in other European countries (not just EU!), so it might look unfamiliar to Germans ;)But some countries have laws requiring all sorts of permissions to be explicitly given, or else the employer can get in trouble.

Well it might be ok but I think I will pass, I applied for a postion for a company in Switzerland and at Crytek never had to sign anything like that.But perhaps due to the fact they were internships might have been different.

This is Polish law and we have to include this short text in every job advert. It is to protect your identity and data and it's just to make sure we won't use it against you without your permission, i.e. it's just so we could read your CV, call you, contact you - ONLY IN REGARD TO JOB OFFER. That's it. There's nothing more to it. It protects your identity, even though it may sound weird.

Ronny explained most of it but I will describe the situation again:This is Polish law and we have to include this short text in every job advert.
