Job hunting has become increasingly discouraging for young professionals, particularly those in Gen Z, due to outdated hiring systems that prioritize risk reduction over identifying human potential. The current processes often feel dehumanizing, rejecting applicants based on static criteria rather than on their real abilities. The article suggests that gamification, which has transformed education and other fields, could be applied to job applications. By creating interactive challenges related to the roles, candidates could engage more meaningfully, allowing companies to assess their abilities effectively and authentically.
Job hunting has become one of the most discouraging rites of passage for young professionals, as overwhelming applications often lead to feelings of futility.

Gamification has already transformed various fields; why can't hiring processes evolve to improve engagement and accurately reflect candidates’ capabilities?
