try a free personality testDuring the interview, you can gauge a candidate’s adaptability by asking them to describe how they handled past situations.
For example, ask how they responded when a long-time process was changed. An adaptable person will respond with enthusiasm, they don’t mind taking risks, and enjoy challenges.
Ask about a time when he or she disagreed with a co-worker. Someone who is adaptable will not say disparaging things about others, and will constructively describe both perspectives.
HighMatch reports come with interview guides that are tailored to each candidate, helping you ask questions that will elicit open and honest answers.
HighMatch provides interview guides tailored to each candidate. Each guide offers questions based on each person’s personality and skills, making it easy for you to ask thought-provoking questions to help you get to know the candidate beyond their resume and experience.
HighMatch directly measures Adaptability, among six other core personality traits, as part of its core personality assessment, and offers the ability to couple this assessment with skill assessments from our massive library of tests.
Our talent consulting Services team partners with organizations to develop job profiles that outline what levels of each trait influence success in a given role.
Once a candidate takes the assessment, their results are compared to the hiring profile to produce a job fit score. Job fit scores make it clear if a person is a high, medium or low fit for the job based on the predefined profile.
