Abstract
Assessment and evaluation methods in a job interview have always been very much focused on a person’s performance, knowledge, and experience. However, excelling at a challenging job often requires skills that go beyond the skills and background of a person. And while psychometrics in the evaluation process is nothing new, gamifying the interview process is still considered a novel approach to candidate evaluation. As part of exploring new potentialities for Chemistry’s innovative card game, BossUP!, a study was conducted with the purpose of prototyping a new format of interview engagement and evaluation for the organization. In combination with a pre- and post-questionnaire, coupled with face-to-face gameplay during the interview process, this study explores the boundaries of how interviews can break free of traditional methods, by not only making it a fun and engaging experience via gamification, but to also enhance the evaluation method beyond performance, knowledge, and experience.
