As a junior psychometrician previously working with educational assessments, but with an interest in artificial intelligence, personality and cognitive assessments, I could not miss out on joining SHL and its Science team. The intersectionality of AI, psychometrics, data science, people analytics, and psychology all within one job made me sure that this would naturally be the next step in my professional career. SHL is a market leader powered by expertise, and I wanted to be part of that.Karim Badr
