ConnectCubed Optimizes Recruitment Criteria in a Fun Gaming Form

— March 17, 2013 — Business
ConnectCubed is a game-based recruitment test platform that allows companies to extend their recruitment criteria and access useful and relevant information about potential employees.

Playing a game to get a job may in fact seem a little strange. Though this game-based platform in fact gathers a lot of useful information that will not only increase the prospective employees' marketability, but also the employers' recruitment options.

From sticking to standardized procedures, companies are missing out on a lot of talent and making satisfactory recruitment choices.

ConnectCubed allows job seekers to sync in with their LinkedIn accounts, play games that reveal information about their knowledge and talent base and get ranked. The companies buy these rankings from the website and add this information onto their decision making.
