Global gamification company The Talent Games teams up with Davidson

Media Release


HR professionals Australia-wide can access new gamified assessment solution with leading workplace performance company Davidson partnering with Canadian Gamification business The Talent Games. 


The Talent Games, which has assessed over 300,000 candidates across more than 130 countries, has reported 60% of applicants abandon job applications because of the lengthy application process. 


The Talent Games has provided gamified solutions for global companies such as Coca Cola and Nestle, to enhance the recruitment process, and improve candidate experience.


Gamification refers to applying game-related elements to non-game contexts. Placing candidates in real life scenarios which are customised to business operations, makes recruitment and on-boarding realistic, engaging and fun.


Davidson’s Group Manager of People Advisory Lindy MacPherson said The Talent Games’ gamified assessment increases the candidate pool, enhancing diversity, reducing bias and time spent sifting through applications. This is a great way for organisations to showcase their brand and values.


“Organisations can customise, and simplify their candidate recruitment processes to better attract, engage and assess talent through relevant real-work scenarios using game-based simulations,” Mrs MacPherson said.


Davidson has become the first Australian partner of The Talent Games to bring these gamified solutions to the national market. The Talent Games CEO Paul Keijzer said the gamified solutions had multiple benefits for both candidates and business’s shortlisting process.


“We are super excited to have this cutting-edge recruiting technology in Australia,” Mr Keijzer said. 


“Organisations can really transform their candidate experience, showcase employer brand, assess and shortlist talent faster and cheaper. And through games (online gamified assessments), recruiters can ensure their hiring process is fun and interactive, something that was always lacking in previous hiring models.”
