Psychobabble

NOTE: Psychobabble was officially closed in 2018. For the record, here's what we were working on. Thank you, everyone! -Ken Employers improve hiring quality and diversity with Psychobabble talent assessment, replacing 100-year-old technology with experiences designed for the modern workforce! Identifying talent is hard, so employers use psychometric assessment to improve hiring decisions. However, current solutions rely on 100-year-old technology: the multiple choice test. These tests can create a poor candidate experience, leading to candidate attrition and fewer accepted offers... particularly among top talent. Multiple choice tests can also adversely impact minorities, leading to decreased hiring diversity and even legal challenges for employment discrimination. Psychobabble develops performance-based interactive multimedia simulations to provide a better candidate experience and to support the employer's brand and EVP. Based on decades of research, Psychobabble has been designed to improve both candidate experience and hiring diversity compared to traditional multiple-choice pre-employment tests. Psychobabble is reinventing talent assessment with cool science and technology: mobile-first simulations that use natural language responses instead of multiple-choice test questions. We are also passionate about challenging the status quo in terms of the social consequences of employment testing programs, by building highly predictive assessments that are designed explicitly to improve Inclusion and Diversity goals vs. traditional testing approaches.
