Wearable technology is a transitional stage between imagination and reality. What we have thought were practicable but haven't become reality yet. Wearable technology is a new application environment for electronic and computing devices.
Wearable devices are taking the world by storm.
1. Wearable Glasses will be utilized to record and assess in-person interviews. Once someone passes their interview through
HireVue or
TakeTheInterview, an in-person interview will be established with a recruiter or hiring manager. By equipping themselves with a device, such as Google Glass, the interviewer could record and gauge the applicants responses to questions. All types of data can be measured and stored for current and future purposes. Simple reactions to certain questions could alert the recruiter to whether this person is a good fit for the position or not.
2. Wearable watches or beacon enabled phones could allow for accurate time tracking of employees. Are they where they are supposed to be? Can an employer cut down on fraud my having a second time clock gauge? I think so.
3. Wristband or Bracelets, think
FitBit, could monitor the health of employees while working at strenuous jobs. Imagine a HR manager monitoring 200 carpenters at a worksite. If the heart rate of one of the employees is dangerously high, why not send them a buzz to take it easy? Might cut down on a potential heart attack and worker’s compensation.
