LONDON — Want to work for Jaguar Land Rover? You could improve your chances by solving puzzles.

The carmaker announced on Monday that it would be recruiting 5,000 people this year, including 1,000 electronics and software engineers. The catch? It wants potential employees to download an app with a series of puzzles that it says will test for the engineering skills it hopes to bring in.

While traditional applicants will still be considered, people who successfully complete the app’s puzzles will “fast-track their way into employment,” said Jaguar Land Rover, which is owned by Tata Motors of India.

The carmaker’s recruitment effort is unusual but far from unique: Increasing numbers of employers are using alternative methods to hire workers.
