Answer 1.
(a)To create the buzz for hiring Gen Y, I will keep in mind that Gen Y is the first generation to grow up in a society of eco-consciousness, are less interested in financial gain than their parents, and more concerned with job fulfilment. Generation Y are the first working-age generation to be considered "digitally native". They have a better insight into society's core problems. However, as a negative, they have been criticised for having unrealistic expectations about what can be achieved in the workplace. 1) I will design an attractive graduate development programme with opportunities where they can use their knowledge

(a)As the VP (Recruitment and Selection) of Le’ Meridien, Bangalore, I will recruit 25 waiters by using a combination of gamification, trials and interviews. Trials and interviews will highlight the human interaction, while gamification will give an insight into the minds of the individual. This can improve the hiring process by aiding both parties (the employer and employee) to identify talent.
Knack, founded in 2010, uses games to identify skills and talents in their players. In one of the company’s first games, Wasabi Waiter, players are given the role of a waiter in a sushi restaurant whose responsibility is matching the mood of the patron with a corresponding dish. Additionally, the player has to empty dishes into a sink, while quickly serving new customers with different requirements. To top all of that off, there is a time limit which adds even more urgency.
Relying solely on games to help companies select candidates is still premature yet evolving. However, combining the interview process of meeting and speaking with someone with the information that a game like “Wasabi Waiter” can reveal is a powerful combination.
