About
Gamified skills assessments leverage behavioral science and AI technology to help companies build diverse and innovative teams
Unfragile Review
Pymetrics uses neuroscience-based games to assess cognitive and behavioral traits, offering companies a novel alternative to traditional résumé screening that claims to reduce bias and improve diversity hiring. While the gamified approach is engaging and the diversity-focused methodology is genuinely differentiated, the tool's effectiveness remains debated in academic literature and its high cost limits accessibility for smaller organizations.
Pros
- +Genuinely innovative approach using behavioral science games instead of traditional assessments, making evaluations more engaging for candidates
- +Strong focus on reducing unconscious bias in hiring with demonstrated improvements in diversity metrics for early adopter clients
- +Comprehensive behavioral data collection provides hiring teams with detailed insights beyond what résumés reveal about problem-solving, risk tolerance, and collaboration styles
Cons
- -Limited independent validation of predictive validity claims; some academic research questions whether game performance actually correlates with on-the-job success
- -Expensive enterprise solution with significant implementation and per-assessment costs, making it impractical for startups or small businesses with tight recruiting budgets
