• 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.

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

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

• 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.

• 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.

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