ADAPT is an innovative assessment and selection tool that enables customers to select smarter
ADAPT assesses a candidates ability to ‘think and do’ in a particular profession and, where possible, train and adjust a candidates skills to an organisations requirement.
The system establishes an individual’s personality, behaviour and physical skills to determine exactly how they operate in the unique operational environment. From this, it can be predicted where candidates will excel and where they will exhibit deficiencies.
ADAPT is closely related to
sports psychology and performance techniques and in its development, these core techniques have been utilised to staggering effects in a range of environments.
Core benefits
How is ADAPT different from other selection methods?
Many selection processes rely on self-report and subjective methods to assess a candidate’s suitability. Most assess individual components of performance consecutively rather than concurrently. All produce a false indication of performance; real life requires concurrent activities, which often create workload and performance degradation.
ADAPT is unique, utilising objective measures the candidate is immersed into performance. This combines the dimensions of Skill, Personality and Situation using physical and cognitive tasks. ADAPT blends domain relevant and Performance psychology with Psychometrics and Simulation to produce a State-of-the-Art selection process.
Skill + Personality + Situation = Performance
The Ultimate selection process
ADAPT benchmarks the candidate against themselves, negating the effects of prior experience. Candidates who may start well but who may not complete are not selected over those with less initial experience but who are highly trainable.
Physical skills often only make up an element of any task. The effects of personality also play a large part in how the candidate conducts themselves during training and how they react to their environment and events as they unfold. ADAPT has shown that it can provide accurate feedback on how the individual will respond to training within an organisation knowing its culture and demands.
ADAPT assesses at the impact of situations on behaviour. It accounts for the effect of the organisation on an individuals’ performance during training or role development.
Existing systems often favour people with prior experience or who are good “exam takers”. This means that many suitable candidates are rejected or overlooked, or others are mistakenly selected.
