Provider map · 2026

Which employers use which assessment

Most lists of this kind are years out of date and state everything with the same confidence. This one marks every row with how sure we are, and says when it was last checked.

What the labels mean

Confirmed: named by the employer or the provider, or corroborated by several independent sources
Reported: consistent candidate reports, but nobody official has said so
Disputed: sources disagree, or it changed mid-cycle — read the note
Not named: they run an assessment and do not say whose

Nothing here comes from inside a hiring process. It is assembled from what employers and providers publish, what candidates report, and our own employer guides — which is exactly why the shaky rows are labelled rather than quietly rounded up. Sat one of these recently? Tell us what your invitation said and we will correct the row.

By provider

The same map read the other way — useful when your invitation names a platform you have never heard of.

Two things that hold whoever screens you

pymetrics no longer exists as a company. Harver announced the acquisition in August 2022 and folded the games into its own platform, so an invitation may say either name for the same twelve-game battery. A result on that platform is reported to stand for about 330 days and to follow you across every employer using it — one attempt, not one per application.

You cannot fake a trait profile across a dozen games — the data goes inconsistent and inconsistency is itself a signal. What you can remove is unfamiliarity: the timer starts immediately, there is no undo and no practice round, so losing the first twenty seconds to working out the interface is a real cost. Memory and attention tasks gain most from knowing the format; practising the risk and reward tasks does nothing, because they measure disposition rather than skill.
