We are the creators of the first cloud gaming platform for healthcare. Our games are played by hundreds of thousands of medical professionals and our solutions empower the top global healthcare companies, societies, and organizations like NASA. We come to work every day to build games in service of doctors, medical professionals, and healthcare. We are the game developers who created some of the world's most popular AAA and mobile games, played by hundreds of millions of people. We are the physicians who publish in JAMA and who care for you in clinic. We envision a world where play takes its rightful place as a fundamental modality of learning in medicine. Where carefully crafted game mechanics let medical professionals and patients develop the complex mental models they need to hone their skills. That’s why we’re here. We won’t sit idly by while our doctors are expected to learn high-end medical technology and breakthrough therapeutics with a PDF or PowerPoint deck. We take this mission seriously. We take game design very seriously. But we don’t take ourselves too seriously. You also won’t find buzzwords here. You won’t hear us talk about how we’re innovating, disrupting, or transforming. You’ll just find diversity of thought, experiences, and people. Curiosity and boldness. You’ll just see us hard at work doing something no one has done before. Once play is accepted as a fundamental force for learning in medicine. Once all medical professionals everywhere can learn through play — anywhere, anytime, without putting human life at risk. That’s when we’ll know our aspirations have become reality. Because when we play to learn, we learn with joy.
Not every candidate is a top performer—and neither is every hiring assessment provider. Wonderlic’s mission is to help HR professionals identify top applicants and predict on-the-job performance by providing them with the most trusted, scientifically validated assessments on the market. Since the company was founded in 1937, more than 200 million Wonderlic assessments have been administered to job candidates.

Streamline your hiring process By using WonScore to pre-screen candidates, you can cut your applicant review time by up to 50%—and quickly focus on your highest-potential candidates before they get snapped up by a competitor. 4.

In addition, our assessment provides new hire success tips for a better understanding of a candidate’s personality, motivators, and learning potential. 5.

Through cohort and online experiences, Bonfire women will learn how to apply & amplify their voices and individual perspectives to Matter More. Our work is based on the assumption that when women show up, stand out, and break through at work they are not only able to make their workplace work for them, but for everyone around them as well. This is how we All Rise. We want to seize the momentum of this moment and do something to change the picture. Not just for women, but for everyone. There's a lot of heat around supporting women in the workplace. Let's build a Bonfire. Bonfire women are at “rising star” phases in their career - they are making critical decisions about their future but are not yet considered executive-level (average of 8-12 years of experience). Her job title is not important. We care about who this woman is, not what she does. We are industry agnostic; the world needs Bonfire women in all walks of life. Women are multidimensional and we strive to represent the full diversity of women. This means we intentionally seek to include, welcome and embrace women across spectrums of race, ethnicity, ability, faith, sexual orientation and people who exist outside of the gender binary.
