The CapsimInbox Authoring Platform helps employers hire the right candidate for the role. You can put a job candidate through a moment in your job and see how they handle it, before you hire anyone. Use the Authoring Platform to create an experiential situational judgment test (SJT) that will help you decide if your candidate is right for the job. What could be a better way to find out than by actually seeing how they perform?
Let’s take a personal case as an example.
At Capsim, I lead the Product Design & Development team. My team is made up of Designers and Product Managers, the people who work tirelessly and creatively to create the experiences you go through as instructors, students, and participants.
As a Product Manager, few things are more important than prioritizing what to work on next, because there is a cost tied to each project. Choose to work on a brand-new feature, and we may encounter new risks and spend more time than we planned for. Opt to make few changes, and your customers may clamor for more or choose another product, altogether. It’s a fine line.
We are fortunate to have a wealth of engaged users, always happy to provide us with feedback and ideas on what they hope for. This makes us happy; we have a direct line to learn from the people we care most about. Yet, this also brings new challenges. Last year, we had hundreds of new feature requests, so choosing what to work on is critical. We can’t get to everything, and there is plenty we want to do!
Last fall, I had to hire a new Product Manager. With everything a Product Manager is responsible for, I wanted to make sure we brought the right person aboard – someone who knew how to ask questions, think deeply, analyze the situation, and lead the team around them.
So I built an inbox simulation.
