Do you remember how the main characters were sucked into the magic world in Jumanji, the world where they had to face a lot of unexpected things and traps? The mechanics of the game is just the same: offer a board game on the topic of the position to test applicants' abilities. Through the game, the applicants demonstrate their intellectual flexibility, teamwork, communication skills, stress resistance, and strategic thinking.
Results
The recruitment will become more proficient
A thematic board game will allow the assessment of both the hard and soft skills of an applicant. The interactive format will reduce the level of the applicant's anxiety during the assessment.
Employer brand awareness will increase
The attendees of this assessment form frequently share their experiences with their acquaintances. If your goal is to modernize the employer's brand, We advise you to exploit these mechanics.
Key Performance Indicators

NPS is a net promoter score. It indicates the applicant's willingness to recommend your company or product to his/her acquaintances. The higher the score, the higher is their satisfaction level. This indicator directly affects the recognition of your employer's brand.

How to apply the Potion
1
Set a game theme
It should depend on the applicants' skills that you need to test. Select a game where players are divided into teams when those skills are cooperativeness and the ability to negotiate. Or the one where you have to play on your own when it is about competitiveness and flexibility.
2
Adapt the game to your tasks
Take a full-fledged game (such as Cash Flow or Monopoly), adapt an existing game for yourself, or invent a completely new one. The last method is the most complex and time-consuming one. We advise you to adapt the existing games for yourself. Ask an analyst to adapt the rules and narrative based on the specifics of your company (e.g., the Container game is great for logistics experts).
3
Set up a game and an applicants assessment
To successfully screen in this format, you will definitely need a moderator (someone who knows the rules best and can help applicants navigate through the game) and assessors (the ones who will assess the applicants).
