What if we could take multimeasure tests and make them scalable and aleccsisbe, and provide data to employers about really what the traits are of someone who can make them a good fit for a job?

This all sounds abstract. Let's try one of the games together. You're about to see a flashing circle, and your job is going to be to clap when the circle is red and do nothing when it's green.

Original Text

This all sounds abstract. Let's try one of the games together. You're about to see a flashing circle, and your job is going to be to clap when the circle is red and do nothing when it's green.
