Late last year, I read about a leading employer that had incorporated gaming technology into the company’s recruitment process. With the help of a software developer, the company designed a game—the setting is a forest kingdom and one of the challenges is to find as many fireflies as possible to help light the make-believe world—that would help identify people with skills in innovation and problem-solving. That company happens to be Deloitte in the UK, and our colleagues there are already talking up the app’s capability to identify high potential recruits.
