but just a heads up, studios usually go for the people with the most experience who they can pay the least. I've known people with game designer positions get let go, only to get hired as QA testers at other studios.

Does this mean that someone has already been hired for the job or that you're going through the applications?

They're currently going through applications (and they've had quite a lot) and arranging interviews.
