›What is Pymetrics?
Pymetrics is a gamified hiring assessment platform that measures cognitive and emotional traits such as attention, risk tolerance, and decision-making speed. Candidates complete 12 short games in about 25 minutes, and the system creates a behavioral profile matched against role requirements or top performers. Pymetrics has been acquired by Harver, which now provides information about its assessment solutions.
