Knack uses video games to assess job applicants, such as through its Wasabi Waiter game which tests attributes like conscientiousness and multitasking. The games look like casual online games but analyze player behavior down to the millisecond to measure traits research has linked to job performance. Knack then provides scores on candidates' potential to be outstanding employees based on their game performance.

• Knack uses video games as a
screening platform rather
than device to determine
how creative, cautious,
adept at multitasking or
easily distracted, among
other attributes, job
applicants are.

5. Knack
• Its Wasabi Waiter game,
for example, casts the
player as a server at a
sushi restaurant who
must figure out which
dishes to recommend.

7. Knack
• Wasabi Waiter is visually
similar to hundreds of
other recreational online
games.

9. Knack
• Players acting as sushi
servers track the moods of
their customers, deliver
them dishes that correspond
to those emotions and clear
plates, while tending to
incoming patrons.

11. Knack
• Unlike most games, though,
Wasabi Waiter analyses
every millisecond of player
behaviour, measuring
conscientiousness, emotion
recognition and other
attributes that academic
studies show correlate with
job performance.

12. Knack
• The game then scores
each player’s likelihood
of becoming an
outstanding employee.
