Company overview
Pymetrics built browser-based "games" — short interactive tasks — whose candidate behaviour the system uses to infer cognitive and emotional traits relevant to job fit. Harver acquired Pymetrics in 2022 and the product now sits in Harver's catalogue as Harver Games. Pre-acquisition Pymetrics was one of the earliest vendors to commission third-party bias audits with O'Neil Risk Consulting & Algorithmic Auditing (ORCAA).
Regulatory exposure
Games-based assessment is regulated as pre-employment assessment under every jurisdiction that covers AI hiring. The "games" framing does not change the legal characterization — outputs that affect hiring decisions are inside Annex III §4 under the EU AI Act and inside NYC LL 144 in New York. Pymetrics' historical audit cadence is the baseline against which the current Harver-owned product is judged.
Path to a higher score
To move into the B band on this rubric, Harver Games would need to
publish (a) a current NYC LL 144 bias audit specifically for the games
product, (b) confirmation of audit cadence post-acquisition (annual or
better), and (c) a system card explaining what traits the games infer
and how those inferences are validated.
