Evaluation: Concept
“Gamification is exciting because it promises to make the hard stuff in life fun”– Definition from Oxford Dictionaries
• (+) Everybody games! Over 95% of youth play games, and 50% of the internet population (http://gamifier.com/gamification-blog/)
• (+) Gamification is becoming popular for Recruiting. Check out other examples used in the Corporate space at: https://www.shrm.org/hr-today/news/hr-magazine/pages/1115-gamification-recruitment.aspx
• (+) Motivates individual and encourages skill and work alignment
• (-) Does not simulate work environment, which looks to be a trend in other gamification apps

Candidate Acquisition:• (-) Challenge: Getting candidates to play the game how do
they know about Knack?• (-) 4 apps to download! • (-) Lack of clarity on which apps to download in the App
Store• (-) App called “Knack UP”, not Knack.IT or Knack• (-) Other “Knack” apps
It needs to be easy, or you’ll lose people at
every step!

Evaluation: User Experience (Candidate)
Playing the Game:• (+) Games appeal to the newer generations entering the job
market• (+) Games are fun, some might say addicting!• (+)“Tutorials” to explain game concepts are helpful• (-)Error messages:

get those

Evaluation: User Experience (Candidate)
Getting “Knacks”:• (+) Fun to get/review your knacks!• (-) After playing a game, knacks are sent via email• (-) Knacks are listed in “My Knacks” area, but they are
generic until you “pull down”• (-) Knacks are color coded, but there are several different
variations in color and it’s not clear what the colors mean

Evaluation: User Experience (Candidate)
Applying for a Job:• (-) Can’t search for jobs by geography, company and other
common drivers• (-) Have to “scroll” through several non-applicable jobs• (-) “Hearting” a job sends your information to the employer

Evaluation: User Experience (Employer)
Candidate Assessment• (+) Candidate knacks presentation very visual• (+) Easy to evaluate one candidate in detail• (-) Cannot compare two+ candidates on one screen/one view• (+) Accessible next step (categorize, connect, share)• (-) Doesn’t track candidate correspondence• (+) Ideal for active recruiting/sourcers• (-) Not ideal for passive recruiting (no job scraping)• (-) Could potentially be lower volume than traditional
recruitment practices

Evaluation: Cost
• (+) Cost of Entry: Low • (+) Cost Control: Easy
• Dependent on number of knacks selected for campaign• Leveraging private campaigns
• (+) Total Cost of Ownership• # of knacks * # of candidates, consumption only• Other cost models available (negotiable)
• (-) Potential for “hidden” posting cost for employer• If you don’t read the fine print, posting jobs as you would
to an external career site (public campaign) would cost the employer each time someone plays and shows interest in their job
