About Neurosight
What is Neurosight?
Neurosight is a UK assessment-technology company providing online pre-hire psychometric assessments built on neuroscience research. Verbatim from the homepage: "Online pre-hire assessments that identify genuine talent without bias — in 3 to 5 minutes. Fully resilient to AI." The company's thesis is that conventional psychometric tests have been compromised by mobile AI tools: "A candidate snaps a photo of their laptop screen. ChatGPT does the rest. Every major psychometric test is now compromised."
Neurosight measures how people think, not just what they answer — its three-layer "Insight Layer" maps the surface answer, the decision path, and the underlying cognition. This delivers 3-6× higher observed validity than conventional tests, with completion times of 3-5 minutes versus 30-50 minutes, and drop-out rates below 1% versus 20-30% for conventional. Neurosight assessments are AI-proof — they cannot be fooled by ChatGPT or LLMs because they analyse how decisions are made in real time.

Where will I work?
Neurosight Ltd is based at 45-47 Clerkenwell Green, London EC1R 0EB. The company operates a hybrid model with the central London office and remote flexibility. Junior Software Engineer openings (per founder Jamie Betts' January 2024 LinkedIn) were posted for Greater London, England.
What is the Neurosight team like?
Neurosight is led by founder Jamie Betts. The company is "a rapidly growing start-up" working with enterprise clients — verbatim "Trusted by" logos from the homepage: Grant Thornton, Virgin Media O2, Cognizant, Worldpay, NHS, Sellafield, Amey, Autotrader Group, Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, Forvis Mazars, Welsh Water, Fieldfisher, Merseyrail, Womble Bond Dickinson, UK National Nuclear Laboratory, VWV, and HCR Law.
Neurosight's commitment to diversity and neurodiversity is core to its product positioning. From the homepage: "Most tests apply one-size-fits-all algorithms to every candidate — harming diversity and excluding neurodivergent talent. Our neuroscience-powered scoring responds dynamically to individual differences, eliminating bias and empowering neurodiversity." The product's impact areas listed verbatim: Ethnicity, Gender, Socio-economic status, Disability, Neurodiversity.
Work-Life Balance
Neurosight offers a 4-day work week as standard with full pay. Verbatim from founder Jamie Betts' January 2024 LinkedIn job post for two Junior Software Engineer roles: "A 4-day work week as standard... yes, really!" The roles offered a starting salary of £32k rising to £36k after six months, with positions based in Greater London. Jamie's follow-up post: "In just two weeks, our two Junior Software Developer roles attracted an astonishing 1,396 qualified applications."
In addition to the 4-day week, Neurosight offers six weeks of annual leave plus UK public holidays.
