Having worked on an applicant testing and tracking system in the past, it was a decent business case to operate because a single company has a job type with 100's of openings and high attrition so it helped screen people. In that case it is self-serving and you know if someone is applying twice (SS Number or other identifier) to try and ace the test.
If Starfighter is open, there are people out there that will try to game the system ("game the game" doesn't sound right.) If someone wants to be a level 50 app_coder, they could have a pre-made sequence to follow to do that. Much like in a MMORPG where you have helpers level up a character or a "mule" for hand-me-downs.
Interviewing candidates last year showed no hesitation on their part to share info with each other or their recruiters. How will Starfighter prevent player "cheating" or knowing the route to leveling? How will content be updated or dynamic?
This is a promising thing for software geeks in general, can't wait to try it out. I started playing Microcorruption and if this is similar to that, it will be fun.
- MichaelGG 12y agoThis is my major concern, but they've said that it's easier to learn the skills than cheat. I'm don't know how, but it's something they're obviously concerned about.
