SAN RAMON, CA--(Marketwired - Oct 5, 2015) - eQuest today officially unveiled a first-of-its-kind gamification posting tool that scores job posting user effectiveness through an online game and scoreboard.

A recent eQuest poll of the Global Fortune 500 found that over 62% of respondents confirmed that the act of job posting, including job board selections, are performed by non-recruiters or admins. The result is a rampant mismanagement of job board advertising budgets.

eQuest's gamification tool illuminates the strategies set by upper management to the downline posting user via a simple auto race game. The user is presented a scenario that encourages them to follow management's strategies by selecting the right job boards thereby winning the game and receiving a virtual trophy. The results are registered on a leaderboard that can be monitored by management.

Management can quickly assess who is following or not following the strategy through the leaderboard. Corrective action can be deployed immediately thus saving companies literally thousands if not hundreds of thousands of dollars each year.

"The goal is to motivate a company's users to meet and achieve the best business outcome -- directing its advertising budget to the highest level of spending performance," said David Bernstein, VP of Data Analytics at eQuest.

eQuest's gamification tool is free of charge to eQuest customers.
