Using proven neuroscience and big data, pymetrics matches candidates to jobs and companies where they'll perform at the highest levels. We assess career aptitude in candidates with proprietary neuroscience games, the latest scientific innovation in cognitive and personality assessment. We create data-driven profiles from top employees’ performance on the games to find top-suited job candidates. Companies using pymetrics see massive efficiency gains in recruiting and overall performance management, and employees have fun in the process too!
2. current recruiting process
information overload
250 resumes : 1 job
time spent per resume: 6 s
poor information
“all resumes look the same”
“do GPA/test scores matter? ”
>60% applicants cut at resume stage
high cost of turnover
<200% of employee’s annual
salary lost
high turnover rate
30-50% of candidates fail
within 1st year
3. perils of the job search
“Does anyone
even look at
my resume?”
“How do I know which
job is right for me?”
“I think my resume just goes into a black hole.”
4. the pain is felt by companies too
“all resumes look the same!”
“are we missing top
candidates?”
“do test scores and
GPAs really predict
job performance?”
“we want more
diverse candidates!”
“will this person be a
cultural fit?”
