About Acuity Insights
What is Acuity Insights?
Acuity Insights is a Toronto-based educational technology company that helps higher-education institutions select, nurture, and graduate the most well-rounded students. The flagship product, Casper, is the leading situational-judgment test for medical, teacher, business, and engineering school admissions — measuring soft skills like empathy, self-awareness, resilience, and ethical judgment beyond just grades. Acuity also offers program-management tools and analytics for medical and health-sciences programs.
Formed in 2014 from the merger of Altus Assessments and One45. Today serves 600+ programs globally with 280,000+ learners annually. ~160 employees, ~$16M annual revenue. Recognised by Canada's Top 100 Employers (2026 edition), Greater Toronto's Top Employers, and Canada's Top Small & Medium Employers.
Where will I work?
Acuity Insights is remote-first across Canada with up to six weeks per year working internationally. The team is anchored in Toronto but distributed across Canadian provinces.
What is the Acuity Insights team like?
~160 people across product, engineering (Casper Team), program management, analytics, customer success, and operations. The culture is purpose-led — Acuity describes itself as building a world where everyone's full potential is recognised and nurtured. Strong commitment to equity in admissions and reducing bias in education.
Work-Life Balance
Acuity Insights sits in our Rotating 4 Day Week category for its company-wide Acuity Days policy. The Software Developer JD body states it verbatim: "Self-directed vacation (most teammates take 4–6 weeks annually), monthly Acuity Days (a collective Friday off), plus a two-week company-wide closure each December." Canada's Top 100 Employers (2026 edition) corroborates: "Acuity Days (Friday closures monthly for 10 months of the year)". Combined with self-directed vacation that averages 4–6 weeks per year and a two-week December company-wide shutdown, total scheduled time off is exceptional.
On-demand Casper Rater contractors: separately, Acuity hires Casper Test Raters as on-demand contractors with fully flexible hours — their JD states "Is flexible and remote, which means you can work at your own pace from anywhere within Australia." These contractor roles are scraped at <code>schedule_type = flexible_hours</code> (different from the FT Acuity Days policy).
