Pymetrics
Pymetrics is a game-based talent assessment platform that measures cognitive and emotional traits through short interactive challenges instead of resumes or traditional tests. Candidates complete neuroscience-backed games that evaluate attention, decision-making, risk tolerance, and emotional patterns, then get matched to roles where those traits align with top performers.
Now part of Harver's hiring suite, pymetrics focuses on skills-based hiring that looks past pedigree. Assessments are nonverbal and intuitive, designed to reduce cultural and language bias while surfacing candidates whose behavioral profile fits the job. The platform draws on matching data from over 100 million completed assessments.
Enterprise talent teams use pymetrics for high-volume recruiting, campus hiring, internal mobility, and leadership identification. Co-founded by a neuroscientist and an AI ethicist, the product emphasizes fairness validation across gender, ethnicity, and socioeconomic groups. Existing pymetrics customers can still log in at pymetrics.com; new sales run through Harver.

What does Pymetrics measure during candidate assessments?
Pymetrics uses neuroscience-based games to evaluate cognitive and emotional attributes such as attention, decision-making, risk tolerance, effort, focus, learning, fairness, generosity, and emotion recognition. The games capture thousands of behavioral data points rather than relying on resumes or self-reported answers.
How long do Pymetrics assessments take to complete?
Pymetrics candidates typically finish the gamified behavioral assessments in about 25 minutes. Harver reports a 98% completion rate, and candidates receive immediate results and feedback when they finish.
Is Pymetrics still a standalone product?
Pymetrics was acquired by Harver and now operates as pymetrics for Game-Based Assessments within Harver's talent platform. Existing users can log in at pymetrics.com, while new enterprise customers purchase through Harver.
How does Pymetrics reduce bias in hiring?
Pymetrics assessments are nonverbal and intuitive to minimize cultural and language bias. Harver states the games are validated for fairness across gender, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status, with a focus on fit rather than background credentials.
Can Pymetrics be used for internal talent development?
Yes. Organizations can use pymetrics-driven assessments to spot internal candidates for upskilling, guide re-skilling with soft skills insights, identify potential leaders early, and improve role alignment to reduce attrition.
Is Pymetrics suitable for early-career or entry-level hiring?
Pymetrics gamified assessments are well suited for early career hiring because they evaluate behavioral attributes and potential rather than work history. Harver positions them for internships, graduate programs, and entry-level roles where candidates may have limited resume experience.
