Mercer Invests in Pymetrics, a Game-Based Career Search Platform Reinventing the Recruiting Process

Investment supports Mercer’s focus on new technologies and analytics

Mercer, a global consulting leader in advancing health, wealth, and careers, and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. (NYSE: MMC), announced today an investment in Pymetrics along with Khosla Ventures. Pymetrics is reinventing the recruiting process by using big data, neuroscience and machine learning to identify optimal career paths for job seekers and ideal employees for organizations.

Pymetrics is transforming the hiring process with new technologies that assess specific characteristics of job applicants through neuroscience games rather than the traditional self-reported question-and-answer approach. It identifies promising job candidates, expanding opportunities for job seekers and connecting organizations with the most appropriate talent.

“Through Pymetrics, we can bring innovative talent acquisition technologies to our clients and further support Mercer’s focus on innovation. By investing in the company, Mercer can help influence how big data and innovative predictive hiring technologies, including gaming, can enhance the recruiting space,” said Barb Marder, Senior Partner in Mercer’s Talent business and Team Leader in Mercer’s Innovation Hub.

“We are very pleased to collaborate with Mercer in shaping the future direction of Pymetrics. We believe the leadership and expertise they bring from an HR perspective will be extremely valuable to advancing the application of big data and neuroscience in the recruiting process,” said Frida Polli, Co-founder and CEO of Pymetrics.
