MyInnerGenius

What MyInnerGenius does

MyInnerGenius, LLC is a privately held, woman-owned workforce assessment and career matching platform headquartered in Marco Island, Florida. The company provides a cloud-based suite of empirically validated psychometric assessments — including PICCASSO (a 5-minute interest assessment), FutureFocus (a mindset and personality instrument), CareerMatch, and CareerPlan — that analyze cognitive abilities, personality traits, interests, values, and mindsets to match individuals to career pathways. Its core technology uses a "neuroscience-based hurdle approach" spanning 31 skill and ability tests, 26 personality traits, 26 mindset scales, and 64 professionally designed assessment batteries, designed to reduce bias by focusing on what candidates can do rather than credentials or past experience. The platform supports 15+ languages, holds GDPR and PIPEDA compliance, and integrates with Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, and Cornerstone.

The company serves four primary customer segments: workforce centers and American Job Centers, corporations and large enterprises, government agencies (federal, state, and local), and educational institutions, plus a fifth social impact and CSR segment. Revenue is generated through enterprise subscription licensing with quote-based annual pricing; go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales, a self-serve product-led growth tier (free trials, 3-minute quiz entry points), and channel partnerships with workforce organizations. Named customers include Google (via a co-branded MyCloudType quiz), Kaplan, the US Department of Labor, the State of California, SERCO, USIC, Franklin Apprenticeships, and the USO, with claimed enterprise outcomes including 23% attrition reduction, 80% turnover reduction (SERCO), and 38% faster time-to-competence.

In 2025, MyInnerGenius launched the AI Readiness Accelerator, a validated system measuring organizational AI maturity, leadership AI capability, and workforce AI strengths. The company has secured recognition from JFF/Salesforce, GSV, Deloitte, and Salesforce, holds seven registered trademarks, and operates as an independent LLC with no disclosed institutional funding. Leadership includes a PhD Industrial Psychologist CEO (Denise Hartsoch), a Chief Psychometrician with 40 years of consulting experience (Barry Farrell), a CTO (Laszlo Marai), an ex-IBM Vice President (David Leaser), and a VP of Business Development (Todd Martin) hired from the SaaS sales industry.
