Now, a hundred years later, employment tests are still used by companies, but are very different in what they test The way that companies recruit new staff has also changed One recent trend in recruitment is ‘gamification’ Gamification, in general, means using characteristics of games (e.g scoring points, competing with others and rules of play) to add some fun to situations that are usually more serious One of the first companies which has used gamification to recruit new staff is the cosmetics company, L'Oréal L'Oréal created an online computer game called Reveal, where you try to solve real-life problems in a virtual environment The best players were invited for an interview Another company, the international hotel group Marriott, developed a Facebook game, My Marriott HotelTM to attract young people to a career in the hotel industry In the game, players managed a virtual hotel kitchen The game could be played in English, Spanish, French, Arabic and Mandarin It was designed to recruit staff in markets outside the USA The game was a great success and brought thousands of people to the Marriott Facebook career page Experts believe gamification is likely to become so common in recruitment that perhaps we should all train as games designers!
