This means that the talents of each employee come together for one goal and the attributes of sports that create achievement through strong immersion will be strengthened through the HR platform. This is why the company established various sports-related partnerships and also established a ‘Flex Team Tennis League’.
Last month, HR tech startup In8 introduced a new ‘Domain Game Diagnostic Debriefer Training Course’ to train corporate human resources managers into behavioral science experts. The goal of this course is to train human resources managers as behavioral science experts who directly design and implement various programs suited to the organization.
In8’s ‘Domain Game Diagnosis’ analyzes more than 1,000 pieces of various behavioral data, including the test taker’s natural response speed while playing the game, correct/incorrect response rate, and behavioral pattern changes according to test conditions. The company explains that the test taker’s condition is analyzed based on accurate diagnosis results.
The basic course is designed to help HR managers quickly acquire the core behavioral science competencies required for HR jobs. It is composed of the basics of HR diagnosis, understanding behavioral science research methodology, ‘professional diagnostic tools that HR must know’, practice of designing organizational diagnosis questions, and practice of analyzing collected data. The advanced course covers in detail the theoretical background of diagnosis, diagnosis-based program design practice, diagnostic debriefing basics and applications, and diagnostic debriefing practice.
○ Advancement of government recruitment platform

This project is one of the ‘Ministry Collaboration-Based AI Expansion Projects’ organized by the Ministry of Science and ICT and the National IT Industry Promotion Agency (NIPA). The purpose of the ‘Development and verification of AI-based recruitment and job search integrated support solution’ project is to enhance job matching by upgrading the Ministry of Employment and Labor’s employment information system (Worknet). Job seekers can obtain reliable job information by blocking false job offers, and recruiting companies can save recruitment costs through support for writing job postings, provision of recruitment success models (prediction of hiring probability), and talent recommendation solutions.
