Gamification in Assessment: Upgrade Your Talent Strategy

September 25, 2018 Aon's Assessment Solutions

Multinational HR and talent practitioners increasingly are turning to gamification elements to enhance their selection strategies. This stems from a desire to differentiate their hiring processes, engage candidates and boost their employer brands. However, in the excitement around gamification, it’s easy to forget the real purpose of assessment: measuring the job-relevant capabilities of candidates to recruit the right people.

What is Important when it Comes to Gamification?

As you evaluate these tools, it’s important to distinguish between games, gamified assessments and game-based assessments, each of which can be used alongside traditional psychometric assessments.

Wondering which one is right for your team? This white paper leverages the latest research on gamification in assessment to outline seven steps to help you identify and implement the right gamification solution for your talent strategy.
