London, UK -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/21/2015 -- The ways that job candidates are assessed and interviewed may be changing in response to what many call 'the digital age'. This finding is the result of increased attention on the recruitment process, across industries. Typical job interviews are assumed to be strict affairs, where the candidate sits to be questioned, perhaps one-to-one or as part of a group. However, it seems recruiters are now opting for digital methods of assessing candidates, believing it to be the most efficient way of truly testing the modern worker. A report in The Guardian detailed such a change; in the form of the accountant firm Deloitte using a mobile phone game within its interview process.
The use of new technologies within recruiting could be seen as part a greater drive to review candidates and test their skills in the best possible way. A combination of technological exercises as well as questioning is another effective method. It appears that the pressure is on for recruiters to engage and analyse applicants in different ways – especially because many work spaces are rapidly evolving due to technological advancements. Workers are increasingly required to be tech-savvy, adaptable and enthusiastic and it is the task of recruiters to identify the best examples of this.
Keen to comment on the changes to interviews and the recruitment process was GSR2R, a prominent rec to rec company based in London.
A spokesperson had this to say:
"Focusing on different elements of testing candidates in the employment process is important; we feel it ensures the recruitment industry is kept contemporary and moving with the times. That is why at GSR2R we are enthused about taking on enthusiastic modern-thinking individuals who are ready to be part of such a positive recruitment process and really making it rewarding for all involved."
