Last time, we featured Revelian product manager, Salih Mujcic to discuss about his organization’s latest offering, a gamified assessment program called “Theme Park Hero”.

  • How does Revelian balance the tension between constructing a serious analytics tool while wrapping it with a fun theme?
  • What kind of skills are being tested with the various games found in Theme Park Hero?
  • Has the team been approached by organizations to present more complex forms of testing for specific job functions?
  • How does the tool test for creative personality types or “oddballs” who change the world – like Steve Jobs?
  • What is Revelian’s future direction in expanding the tool’s features to account for a wider range of personality characteristics?

The gamification of recruitment has been a very creative way to find and bring talent to your company without going through a costly recruiter.
