Daya Dimensi Indonesia, a business unit of Dayalima Group, successfully held an online HR workshop titled “WARNING: Why Your ‘Perfect’ Candidate Fails in the First 90 Days,” attended by more than 200 HR leaders across industries in Indonesia. Led by Dr. Maharani Syahratu Kertapati, Head of Future of Work, the 45-minute session explored the paradigm shift in modern recruitment—from declarative to demonstrative data, from past skills to learning agility, and from high anxiety to high engagement. The workshop also introduced Ship It Right, a behavioral data-based Game Based Assessment solution that helps companies make more accurate talent decisions from the earliest stage of selection.

Addressing Real Challenges on the Recruitment Front Line

This 45-minute session was designed specifically to address the pain points of HR Directors and Talent Acquisition Managers, particularly those managing high-volume recruitment for entry-level roles such as Management Trainee, Admin Staff, Sales, and Customer Service.

Participants were invited to reflect on familiar realities: high early-resignation rates, the difficulty of distinguishing candidates from a stack of nearly identical CVs, and the phenomenon of candidates who shine in interviews but disappoint on the job. Dr. Maharani stressed that with AI tools, even average candidates can look exceptional on paper, so CVs are no longer adequate as a screening tool.

Three Recruitment Paradigm Shifts (AI in HR & Data Driven HR)

At the heart of the workshop was the presentation of three paradigm shifts in modern recruitment. First, from declarative data to demonstrative data—instead of listening to what candidates say, Daya Dimensi Indonesia advocates observing what candidates do during simulations.

Second, from past skills to learning agility—the speed of learning and adapting matters far more than technical hard skills that quickly become obsolete. Third, from high anxiety to high engagement—a gamified assessment creates a flow state, so the behavioral data produced is more authentic. This is the essence of the data-driven HR approach relevant to the AI in HR era.

Highlight: The Spot The Real Performer Activity

Enthusiasm peaked during the “Spot The Real Performer” breakout session, where participants discussed the profiles of three fictional candidates for an Operations Coordinator role. After choosing, the facilitator revealed the three candidates’ behavioral data—and the results were surprising.

The candidate with the most impressive CV had low Persistence and Learning Agility scores, while the candidate with an ordinary CV showed the highest behavioral profile on the most critical aspects. The moment became a powerful reflection on the blind spots of recruitment without behavioral data.

Introducing Ship It Right: Game Based Assessment

The workshop introduced Ship It Right, a Game Based Assessment (GBA) solution developed by Daya Dimensi Indonesia. On the surface it looks like a logistics simulation game, but every candidate decision is analyzed by validated psychometric algorithms to produce a behavioral competency profile.

That profile covers four key dimensions: Planned Decision-Making, Learning Agility, Persistence, and Striving for Excellence. Ship It Right is positioned as a digital behavioral laboratory that illustrates how candidates would act in real work situations.

Real Results from Implementation

The approach’s effectiveness was proven with a client in the finance and banking industry conducting more than 1,000 recruitments per year. Implementing Ship It Right over three months produced a 45% reduction in assessment process duration, with 87% of participants finding the process more interactive and 79% experiencing easier access to the assessment.

These figures reinforce Daya Dimensi Indonesia’s position as a pioneer of assessment innovation that improves recruitment accuracy while enhancing the candidate experience.
