| Professional recruiters in the
internet age face a major challenge: how to really assess the
intellectual horsepower, social skills, flexibility and competitiveness
of a candidate. Creative Bandwidth plays
games with them.
Plato said that he could learn more about
someone in an hour of play than a year of conversation. Perhaps,
during the next multi-day stack of interviews, instead of asking how
they would weigh Mount Fuji, play a Creative Bandwidth game with them!
A client in India screens dozens of applicants
for each open position. They discovered that using a CBand game in
their second round screening process increased their hiring success rate
by 30%.
Obviously, in the recruiting environment it is
important to offer a level playing field to applicants. That's why
CBand will stage gaming sessions with current highly-successful staff
members, and chart how they play the games. We then deploy the
same games with prospective staff, enabling an unbiased assessment of
how their game play (therefore their thinking, reasoning and
communication skills) match with current staff.
As with most other CBand products, we can do
the work for you, or build a process that will enable you to do it
yourself. Either way, the staffing process becomes more effective,
more efficient, and actually starts to be Fun.
Hiring the wrong person rolls the dice on the
future of your company. Why not play a game with that candidate,
and make sure you hire a winner?
