Company mission

To help young, talented professionals to transform professional credentials from education and work history into something much more interesting, granular, meaningful, and fair.

Our take

Reimagining the world of recruitment, Flex carries out skills assessment through video game performance. Working with the gaming recruitment industry and the education sector, Flex is able to tell its users more about who they are as an individual, professional or student.

Appreciating the complexity and well-calibrated nature of games, users are assessed on the way gamers solve puzzles and their rate of success in order to extract various professional and personal attitudes. Flex stands out for its understanding that the image of ‘modern professional’ has changed. The company therefore has changed with this, offering the new generation of professionals a modern toolset to ensure they are well equipped for the lives ahead of them.

Whilst green, this modern and innovative approach to perhaps an out-dated methodology, coupled with strong pedigree with relevant expertise, makes Flex an exciting company to watch.
