Pera

global selection partner

Pera has developed groundbreaking neurolinguistic software to analyse and map people’s unique competencies, like a fingerprint. The results are compared to 4.5 million fingerprints of professionals worldwide to provide an accurate prediction of a candidate’s future potential.

The Pera algorithm looks at how people write, not what they write. It simply has no opinion or bias and disregards education, experience or ethnical background by default. By doing so, it opens up a world of talent formerly disregarded.
