Social metaverse company Flam to recruit through its OneAbove metaverse platform

Chennai: Social metaverse company Flam on Monday said it has enabled a walk-in recruitment experience in the metaverse through its One Above platform, which it claimed was the first of its kind. As a part of its growth strategy, in the next six months, the company will be recruiting about 80-100 mid-to senior-level employees across departments, with a focus on product, engineering, design, and technology roles.

OneAbove is the company’s in-house metaverse recruitment platform which has been curated with an investment of $50,000 by a team of 25 employees in 30 days. The company said that the platform’s design represents Flam’s workplace and its culture. It can host a meeting of 50 people at the same time. The company aspires to give a first-hand experience of metaverse to all the walk-in candidates. Flam is also in talks with colleges to aid students with an understanding of the metaverse.

“OneAbove aims to augment our employee experience and attempts to eliminate any form of prejudice. The platform will cut across the 3E’s of the recruitment process namely excitement, experience, and evaluation of the candidates which differentiates it from a regular interview,” Shourya Agarwal, CEO, and Co-Founder, Flam said in a statement.

Post signing up on Flam’s career page, the candidate will be mailed a link of the OneAbove platform. The candidates are not required to have any additional hardware equipment and they can enter the metaverse using their laptops or desktop. The journey will begin with the interviewee landing on the platform and selecting his/her avatar to interact with the recruiter from over 45 avatars. At the entrance, they will see a virtual lobby with Flam HR team who will guide them towards the stage. Each round of walk-in interviews will have a maximum of 15 candidates in the lobby at the same time.

Flam said that each candidate will be requested to come on the stage and introduce themselves. The candidates will be able to share his/her screen, showcase a presentation, and even turn on the camera to show their real selves. A reaction feature is also installed for the participants to share their reactions after every presentation. Candidates will also be able to place any image, video, audio, 3D object, etc. in the scene and embed external links to it.

“The shortlisted candidates will be called for a one-on-one interview round with the department heads. Each room is designed as per the line of work. For instance, the design room will have an artistic feel to it, whereas the technology room will showcase a tech-savvy theme,” the company said.
