Employment Technologies' award-winning EASy Simulation Virtual Customer makes hiring "fun and games" with million dollar results.

“We’ve shown that our advanced gaming technology is not only fun, it also outperforms traditional employment tests in both accuracy and ROI.”

Winter Park, FL (PRWEB) February 08, 2012

Employment Technologies, the pioneer and world’s leading developer of employment simulations, today announced results of two recent studies confirming how the new gaming technology used in EASy Simulation® Virtual Customer - Sales and Service is creating a positive buzz among retail applicants. In addition, by pinpointing top candidates, the simulations are also helping retailers cut turnover in half and boost sales by millions.

The studies included two large retailers: a top rental company with locations in more than 100 countries worldwide, and a nationwide service center with stores in more than 150 locations. The studies collected applicant reactions to the new gaming technology used in the Virtual Customer Simulations. A sample of their responses is provided below:
“It is VERY engaging and even fun to do.”
“Really enjoyed the animation and customer interactions.”
“It was fun, not boring like other tests.”
“I liked how realistic the customers were.”
“The animation and the way it’s presented are awesome!”

“Creating a positive applicant experience is becoming increasingly important to businesses,” explains Employment Technologies president Joseph Sefcik. “Savvy retailers are realizing that they can attract higher quality candidates when they project a positive and progressive brand image during the recruiting process.”

“With these studies,” continues Mr. Sefcik, “we’ve shown that our advanced gaming technology is not only fun, it also outperforms traditional employment tests in both accuracy and ROI.” With the Virtual Customer - Service, the service center cut their 30-day turnover in half, dropping from 21.5% turnover to only 9.7% (an estimated $2 million savings). The rental company also saw dramatic results. The company estimated a $5 million dollar increase in optional sales for candidates hired with the Virtual Customer - Sales.

Recognized by Human Resource Executive as one of the Top HR Products of the Year, “The Virtual Customer clearly stood out from the pack as one of the first simulations to effectively blend gaming and assessment technologies,” stated David Shadovitz, editor of Human Resource Executive. “In the midst of shrinking HR budgets, we also like that the Virtual Customer provides multiple benefits for hiring, training, and onboarding.”

Employment Technologies offers a suite of Virtual Customer products, including Virtual Customer – Sales, Virtual Customer - Service, and Virtual Cash Drawer.
