*Required disclosures on Automated Employment Decision Tools (AEDTs) for applicants*

As a component of the hiring process, applicants for certain campus and/or AATP roles may be asked to complete an assessment by Pymetrics. Pymetrics is the only AEDT used by BNP Paribas for candidate screening purposes.

The Pymetrics assessment is designed to measure a series of cognitive, social, and emotional soft skills. The characteristics measured include Attention (i.e., an individual’s approach to managing incoming information and distractions), Decision-Making (i.e., an individual’s approach to making decisions in terms of time spent and/or amount of planning involved), Effort (i.e., an individual’s tendencies around effort expenditure given the size of the reward and the probability of success), Emotion (i.e., an individual’s strategies for interpreting others’ emotions), Fairness (i.e., an individual’s tendencies around perceptions of fairness in social situations), Focus (i.e., an individual’s tendency toward focused concentration versus multi-tasking), Generosity (i.e., an individual’s tendencies toward altruism versus resource conservation), Learning (i.e., an individual’s tendencies to adapt behavior based on new information), and Risk Tolerance (i.e., an individual’s comfort level with risk).

The Pymetrics assessment is administered as a series of behavioral exercises, which are sometimes referred to as “games.” As a candidate works through the exercises, which can be completed on a computer or mobile device, the platform collects real-time data about how they perform each activity. There are no “right” or “wrong” ways of performing the exercises. In total, the assessment takes approximately 25 minutes to complete.

The only data Pymetrics uses to evaluate job candidates are the real-time measures collected as the exercises are being completed. Applicants may also be asked to complete a voluntary survey of demographic identity questions, but responses to these questions are not a component of the Pymetrics assessment. In general, Pymetrics will retain candidate data for as long as processing is necessary. Individuals may request to have their data deleted from Pymetrics by contacting privacy@pymetrics.com. Please note, data collected by Pymetrics is not shared with BNP Paribas. For more information about BNP Paribas’ data retention policy, please visit Data Protection Notice - BNP Paribas USA.

Should you wish to request an alternate section process, please make your request to campusrecruiting@americas.bnpparibas.com. Regarding disability-related accommodations, certain accommodations for the Pymetrics assessment can be accessed directly within the platform. Prior to beginning the Pymetrics assessment, applicants will be prompted to self-identify as requiring accommodations for colorblindness, ADD/ADHD, and/or dyslexia. An accommodated version of the Pymetrics assessment will be administered immediately. To request a reasonable accommodation to the hiring process for other disabilities, applicants should contact us at campusrecruiting@americas.bnpparibas.com
