What is Pymetrics?
What is Pymetrics?
Pymetrics is an AI talent assessment platform that uses short, game-based neuroscience assessments to evaluate candidates' cognitive and emotional attributes. Instead of relying on resumes or traditional psychometric tests, Pymetrics builds behavioral profiles that AI matches to role and company-specific success models.
How It Works
- Candidates complete 12 short, game-based neuroscience assessments (25 minutes total)
- Games measure traits like attention, learning speed, risk tolerance, and altruism
- AI compares results to behavioral profiles of high performers in the role
- Candidates are matched or recommended to appropriate roles objectively
- Audited for bias to ensure fair and equitable assessment

Enterprise companies across financial services, consulting, consumer goods, and technology use Pymetrics to make more objective early-stage hiring decisions. It's particularly popular for graduate and entry-level hiring programs where academic credentials are a poor predictor of job performance.
