When people applied for jobs at these companies, they were directed to pymetrics' machine learning platform to play assessment games.
I was wondering what these “games” were like, so I searched YouTube for pymetrics assesment games.
Some of them measure your tendency for risk taking. Others are partly instruction following exercises and partly hand to eye coordination.
The funny thing to me is that a few of the tests involved hitting the space bar rapidly. If you have an expensive, tactile keyboard that is good for typing you won’t be able to this well. A typical, flat laptop keyboard makes those exercises much easier.
All of the videos I found about this were by people who help prepare job seekers for these tests. Like usual, getting a job requires knowledge and skills that have nothing to do with actually doing that job well once you are hired.
