Upstream uses online game to recruit new staff

December 14, 2011

Upstream has designed an online challenge to help recruit candidates for its open marketing campaign manager positions.

The challenge is designed to take a maximum of 60 minutes and leads candidates through a series of seven timed missions that relate to specific aspects of the Marketing Campaign Manager positions.
After providing personal contact details, candidates begin with exercises such as ‘decrypting’ anagrams, word usage questions, elementary mathematic questions, matching an emotion to a hypothetical scenario, and more.
“The Upstream Challenge is a great tool to attract and really engage the right kind of candidates for this role,” said Guy Krief, Senior Vice President, Innovation, Upstream. “We’re trying an innovative approach to recruitment – not just looking at hiring the most impressive resumé, but people who are up for a challenge and demonstrate an ease with languages, can creatively think and innovate and who understand basic statistics, because that’s what they’ll face every day in this position.”
According to Krief, these missions test fundamental marketing knowledge and analytical skills, and may uncover candidates who would never have otherwise applied for the position but actually demonstrate that they have the skills to do the job successfully. “Our hope is that this type of engagement will attract a wide range of talent, and will prove more fun and compelling than the typical recruitment process,” said Krief. “It’s been said that you can learn more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation, so it’s going to be fascinating to see the results.”
There are five open Marketing Campaign Manager positions which will be located in the U.K, U.S., Greece and Brazil.
Candidates interested in taking the challenge can participate here.
