Based in New York City, Pymetrics leverages AI to help companies hire optimal candidates by examining more than what’s traditionally included in a resume scan. Customers have their best employees fill out the Pymetrics assessment, which then creates a model for what future ideal candidates should bring to the table. In essence, the AI-based system is attempting to find more new staff that will fit in well with the existing top staff, using AI and behavioral science.
It was acquired by Harver, a company that provides AI-powered talent acquisition solutions, in 2023. Pymetrics was founded in 2013 and developed an artificial intelligence-based talent-matching platform that uses neuroscience and machine learning to assess candidates’ behavioral traits. Pymetrics has raised $100 million in funding from investors such as Andreessen Horowitz, Founders Fund, and Thrive Capital.
