Despite widespread & longstanding use of psychometric testing during recruitment, studies have shown that limitations leave 75% of organisations desiring new improved approaches to pre-hire assessment (CEB, 2013) e.g. self-reporting causes inaccuracies, candidates may falsify results; lengthy time to complete (~1hour); high cost of £20 (short basic) - £300 (incl. detailed feedback) which is not economical/suitable for SMEs; stressful effect; high dropout rates (~20%); subject to practice effect => favour higher socioeconomic groups with access to funds for practice tests/support. Games Based Assessment (GBA) is an emerging field which uses video games to overcome these limitations by measuring actual behaviours & decisions, therefore providing an assessment process which is more objective & harder to falsify. Market uptake is however limited with current suppliers adopting poor commercial models, games having narrow sector appeal & poor scientific validity. MindX Limited (MXL) will complete a 15-month Experimental Development project to develop MindX; a GBA recruitment platform including 3 unbiased, scientifically validated video games, a manager portal & analytical tools. It will disrupt the global recruitment industry by enabling accurate, rapid (15mins/candidate compared to 30mins for competitors) & cost effective (£5/assessment compared to £20-£300 for competitors) assessment of candidates for the first time => enabling SMEs as well as large orgs to adopt the approach.

尽管在招聘过程中广泛和长期使用心理测试，但研究表明，75%的组织希望采用新的改进方法来进行招聘前评估（CEB, 2013），例如，自我报告会导致不准确，候选人可能会伪造结果；完成时间较长（~1小时）；20英镑（短基本）- 300英镑（包括详细反馈）的高成本，不经济/不适合中小企业；压力的效果;辍学率高（~20%）；根据实践效果=>有利于有机会获得资金进行实践测试/支助的社会经济地位较高的群体。基于游戏的评估（GBA）是一个新兴领域，它使用电子游戏通过测量实际行为和决策来克服这些限制，因此提供了一个更客观、更难以伪造的评估过程。然而，由于目前的供应商采用了糟糕的商业模式，游戏的行业吸引力和科学有效性都很低，所以市场占有率有限。MindX Limited （MXL）将完成一个为期15个月的实验开发项目来开发MindX；GBA招聘平台，包括3个公正，科学验证的视频游戏，经理门户和分析工具。它将通过实现准确，快速（15分钟/候选人，而竞争对手为30分钟）和成本效益（5英镑/评估，而竞争对手为20- 300英镑）首次对候选人进行评估，从而颠覆全球招聘行业=>，使中小企业和大型组织能够采用该方法。
