What We Do
Scoutible is the world’s first professional metaverse designed to help anyone find and achieve their purpose. Scoutible’s team of scientists from Harvard and Stanford invented the first immersive role-playing game that uncovers the most accurate and unbiased hiring criteria known to exist – cognitive and personality strengths – in just 15 minutes of play. Users are then rewarded for leveraging their newfound strengths in our gamified professional metaverse — built on a foundation of freedom, transparency, and removing the barriers and bias of the physical working world. Users earn rewards for showcasing who they are, what they know, and what they learn as they level up in their professional journey.
Scoutible’s mission is using science to help all people unlock their greatest strengths and achieve their unique purpose — the intersection of what they’re great at, what they love, and what the world needs.
