Do you remember that engaging Zoom interview? No, neither do we. In a world where ‘Can you see my screen?’ is becoming the new greeting, how can recruiters shake up their methods and provide a more exciting experience for recruiting new talent? In a world of virtual recruitment and HR, the answer is: watching candidates play games. 

We all played games as a child. Whether you were outside kicking a ball or inside kicking a ball on a screen, we all had some sort of game we enjoyed. Tapping into candidates abilities to ‘think like a child’ is incredibly telling and revealing and also beneficial for their own development. 

If you want to fill your role with the best candidate, then you ought to provide them with the greatest means to allow them to show you their best work. By providing candidates at final stages with activities such as escape rooms, they really get a chance to flourish and in doing so, show you how they really work in a live environment – resume aside.

How does the process work?

It’s easy. If you’re down to the final potential candidates for a role, and you’ve asked for every weakness and every strength, take it into your own hands – by living vicariously through us – and find out their real strengths and weaknesses for yourself. It’s no secret that people put their best foot forward in an interview, so why not speed up the process and see what your candidates are like after they’ve let go a little? Not only is the process engaging and fun, gamification in the hiring process can be used as both an analytical device as well as a method of developing and creating skills.

Our escape rooms are available digitally for groups of up to 500+, split into teams of 2 -6. When the world is back to normal, we can welcome you into our physical escape rooms for a maximum of 6 people per room across the UK. Got a bigger recruitment drive? Looking for a new activity for your assessment days? Perhaps even a career day? No problem, we’ve got games we can deliver to you as well – whether you need us to host you or not.
