South Jordan-based HireVue has acquired MindX, a game-based assessments company that markets a hiring and talent analytics program. The company is based in London, England. HireVue develops and markets AI-driven talent assessment and video interviewing software.
Founded in 2004, HireVue employs over 250 in its local operation. MindX, with its 75 employees, will become a subsidiary of HireVue.
“The MindX game-based assessments are a perfect complement to HireVue’s video-based pre-hire assessments solution, as they add the ability to measure fluid IQ, reasoning and problem-solving to the ability of HireVue assessments to evaluate job-specific knowledge, communication and social intelligence,” said Kevin Parker, chairman and CEO of HireVue. “We’re excited to deliver even more robust and validated tools to our customers worldwide so they can discover, hire and grow more of the best talent faster in today’s competitive hiring market.”
“The MindX team has been working rigorously to enable companies to hire the best talent for the job using cognitive science in combination with technology,” said Clemens Aichholzer, founder and CEO of MindX. “We’re thrilled to be teaming up with HireVue at a time of rapid global expansion. HireVue and MindX share a common vision of using sound science and a data-driven approach to ensure that both recruiting and career development are fairer, more effective and more engaging for candidates and companies alike.”
Financial details of the acquisition were not disclosed.
