Some companies like Xerox and Shell are considering looking at potential job applicants through a video game that would analyze data. According to a report by The New York Times, this process may allow companies to interview applicants remotely. Above all, the game could help companies lower the cost of hiring as compared to about $3,000 per new employee. Some companies have been using applicant tracking systems but games would take the concept further.
