Summary

Arctic Shores is a global provider of Game-Based Assessments that deliver meaningful, job relevant insights about people. We work with our clients to produce reliable, data-driven, objective screening of candidates so they can improve the quality and diversity of hires, whilst contributing to an improved ROI.

Our mission is to help companies make better people choices and help people to make better career choices.

At Arctic Shores, we specialise in gamified psychometric assessments. The assessments are developed by our dedicated team of psychologists, scientists, software developers and graphic designers. By combining psychometric assessments with predictive analytics and AI technology, we provide our clients with a powerful tool to complement human intuition in the hiring process. We like to look past the resume and focus on talent potential rather than experience, privilege or seniority.

Our range of assessments measure elements of cognitive ability, personality, aptitude and emotional intelligence and can be customised to your desired job fit, whilst providing an immersive and engaging candidate environment. We capture real decisions and behaviours as candidates respond spontaneously to simple and engaging tasks, meaning we can observe real behavioural preferences in action. In addition to recruitment and selection, our game-based assessments can also be used for personal and career development. This, combined with our DataHub, our all-in-one candidate management, analytics and feedback portal provides you with everything you need to revolutionise your recruitment process.

Product Summary


Game-Based Assessments

Game-based assessments are a more engaging and immersive alternative to traditional psychometric tests. Candidates complete a series of ‘levels’ that capture data points (in our case, up to 12,000!) without the process feeling like a high-pressure test situation.

Our assessments are grounded in validated psychological models of intelligence, personality and cognitive neuroscience. They use real behaviours to create a psychometric profile. We follow strict standards of the British Psychological Society and all of our research is reviewed by independent subject matter experts. Our game-based assessments are more predictive and efficient compared to conventional psychometric tests.

Your business is unique. That’s why our in-house team of dedicated occupational and business psychologists work closely with you to create a bespoke algorithm that measures the traits important for your organisation.
