We got tired of bad hiring decisions. So we built something better.
Neuroworx started with a simple frustration: the tools meant to help companies hire well weren't actually doing that. So we decided to make ones that do.
Why we built Neuroworx
We've sat in the interview rooms. We've reviewed the CVs until our eyes blurred. We've watched great candidates get overlooked because they didn't have the right university on their resume, and we've watched terrible hires sail through because they were charming for forty-five minutes.
The existing tools didn't help. Personality tests that candidates gamed in seconds. Generic aptitude tests with no connection to the actual job. AI screening that just pattern-matched CVs in a fancier way. None of it measured what actually mattered: can this person do the work?
So we started building. Not another test library. A platform that assesses people the way they'll actually be working. Through realistic scenarios, practical tasks, and genuine decision-making. The kind of assessment we wished had existed when we were the ones hiring.
Watched a company hire 12 graduates using personality tests. 8 left within a year. There had to be a better way.
Built the first scenario-based assessment on a weekend. Tested it with real candidates. The data was immediately better.
Ran predictive validity studies. The results weren't just good. They were significantly better than industry benchmarks.
500+ assessment templates. Thousands of candidates assessed. Still obsessing over making every assessment better.
The things we'll argue about at dinner
Hiring should be evidence-based, not vibes-based
Gut instinct is great for choosing restaurants. It's terrible for choosing who to hire. Every decision should have data behind it. And that data should come from watching people actually do the work, not guessing from a CV.
Fairness isn't a feature. It's the foundation.
We don't bolt on "bias reduction" as an add-on. Every assessment we build is designed from scratch to measure capability, not background. If a tool doesn't give everyone an equal shot, it's broken.
Candidates are people, not applicant numbers
We think about the person sitting at home, nervous, hoping this opportunity works out. That's why our assessments feel like real work, not trick questions. If candidates hate the experience, we've failed. Even if the data is perfect.
Psychologists who ship code. Engineers who read research papers.
We're a small team, and we like it that way. Everyone here has built something they're proud of, been on the wrong end of a bad hiring process, and has strong opinions about what good assessment looks like.
Our psychometricians don't just validate assessments. They argue about item design over coffee. Our engineers don't just build features. They read the research papers to understand why they're building them. And nobody here has ever uttered the phrase "that's not my department."
We're remote-first, based mostly in the UK, and we communicate in plain English. Even about statistics.
Psychometric science nerds
Builders, not theorists
Plain English, always
Remote-first, UK-based
Data over opinions
Strong tea, stronger views
Not corporate values. Actual principles.
The stuff that actually guides what we do every day, not what's on a poster in a meeting room we don't have.
We ship fast and fix honestly
We'd rather get something real in front of you quickly and iterate than spend six months building something perfect in a vacuum. When we get it wrong, we tell you straight away and fix it.
We'd rather lose a deal than oversell
If our platform isn't the right fit, we'll tell you. We've sent people to competitors when it was the right thing to do. Turns out, they usually come back later.
Every assessment gets scrutinised
We run adverse impact analysis, predictive validity studies, and regular psychometric reviews on everything we ship. Not because someone told us to, but because we actually care whether the thing works.
We treat support like product
When you email us, a real person replies. Usually someone who helped build the feature you're asking about. We don't have a support team because everyone here is the support team.
Curious?
Want to see what we've built?
We'd love to show you around. Book a demo and we'll walk you through the platform, answer your awkward questions, and be completely honest about what we can and can't do.
