MindX's innovative product introduces gamification and big data analytics to psychometric assessments and employee training. On the MINDX Enterprise Portal, employers easily configure customised assessments and training programs that integrate scientific mini games and interactive quizzes. Candidates and employees access this content through the MINDX Mobile App.

Thanks to MindX's scientific, data-driven approach and close cooperation with leading business psychologists, the offered solution contributes to a fair, unbiased screening and selection process, resulting in improved corporate diversity.

Clemens Aichholzer, Founder and CEO of MindX, said: "MindX leverages the latest developments in tech and science to upgrade the recruitment process. Despite the continued rise of HR tech, key areas of hiring related to spotting and growing the best talents remain firmly stuck in the past. This is now changing; companies can't afford ending up on the losing side of an increasingly digital war for talent."

Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic, CEO of Hogan Assessments and Scientific Advisor to MindX, said: "Technology has enhanced the status of HR and turned people management into a data-driven game. HR can now empower organisations with robust tech and data to turn the art of people management into a science: an objective, defensible and replicable process with a clear ROI. MindX is driving true innovation in this space with its gamified solutions for talent identification and selection."
