Ad Agency Uses ‘Diablo 3’ to Screen Job Candidates
Are you a fearless digital warrior? Can you contribute real-time teamwork? Exhibit creative thinking under fire?
More importantly, are you good at Diablo 3? If you are and if you’re a programmer who’s interested in working for an Israeli ad agency, then you might want to check in on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. Israeli time this month to square off with Yossi Lubaton, CEO of BBR Saatchi, a.k.a. “Yossilubaton#2572.”
If you fare well against the level 60 Barbarian, he will invite you into his office for a job interview and will give you Warmonger, the legendary sword, one million gold coins “and maybe manager’s insurance.”
Lubaton’s strategy makes sense: Likely candidates will be on D3 anyway. But it’s also pretty savvy marketing by the agency. Either way, it’s a nice change of pace from the usual, “Where do you see yourself in five years?” style of traditional interviews.
What do you think? What’s the oddest job interview you’ve ever been on? Let us know in the comments.
