Harver, a software firm that provides assessments for high-volume hiring, acquired pymetrics, a New York-based provider of assessments for soft skills.

The deal adds behavioral-based artificial intelligence methodology to Harver’s existing assessments, according to the companies.

“By joining forces, we will be able to offer our customers across the globe a more robust and diverse set of solutions to help them drive better talent decisions,” Harver CEO Scott Landers said.

Founded in 2011, pymetrics’ assessments are available in 30 languages, on the web and on the Android and iOS apps.

The Randstad Innovation Fund was an investor in pymetrics. It described pymetrics as offering a way of sourcing candidates using gamified psychometric assessments. “The 20 short games assess candidates’ soft skills by measuring 90 cognitive and emotional traits beyond education and background,” according to the fund.

Harver’s acquisition of pymetrics was announced today.

“Harver and pymetrics have an incredible opportunity to reinvent the way talent decisions are made by creating a more effective and unbiased process across the talent lifecycle,” said Frida Polli, CEO and founder of pymetrics.
