More than just testing. We match careers with capabilities

Job recruitment has become increasingly complex, with new generations of recruits who bring different skill sets and expectations to their careers. Recruiters must identify individuals who can apply their competencies, skills, and knowledge to their multi-faceted organisations.

At Progress, we aim to ensure certainty in every hire with a robust talent solution.

The Progress Capability Platform does more than just identify psychometric traits; it identifies the key capabilities of a candidate that match the job requirements. Hiring managers aren’t just matching personalities to jobs; they’re selecting candidates with the proven potential to perform and grow in the role over the long term.

Frequently asked questions 

Progress Recruit is a data-driven talent solution within the Progress Capability Platform. It helps hiring managers go beyond personality tests to identify candidates with the actual capabilities required for the job. This ensures better alignment, performance, and long-term success.

While traditional psychometric tests often focus on personality traits alone, Progress Recruit assesses a candidate’s capabilities, such as the skills, behaviours, and mindset needed to thrive in a specific role. It delivers insights that hiring managers can directly link to real-world job performance. 

Capabilities are the core skills, behaviours, and attributes that an employee needs to be successful in a role, such as problem-solving, communication, adaptability, and decision-making. Progress maps these capabilities to the specific requirements of the job to ensure a better fit. 

By focusing on job-specific capabilities, Progress Recruit helps employers make evidence-based hiring decisions. This reduces the risk of poor fit, underperformance, or early turnover, and improves the likelihood of hiring someone who will grow with your organisation. 

Each candidate's report includes: 

  • A breakdown of key strengths and development areas
  • Capability alignment with job requirements
  • Expert interpretation and commentary
  • Recommendations on suitability (fit, fit with caveats, or not fit)
  • Suggested interview questions for deeper exploration

Absolutely! Our team will work with you to define the capabilities critical to your specific roles. Whether you're hiring for technical, creative, leadership, or support positions, Progress can adapt to your organisational needs. 

Yes definitely. Progress supports bulk candidate assessments and delivers comparative summary reports, making it easy to shortlist candidates and identify top talent efficiently. 

Unfortunately no. Our system is set up for organisations to take control of their own hiring and capabilities. This means we provide a holistic talent solution that allows managers to recruit and develop their program, as well as offer coaching on how to use the solution in their organisation with Progress Manage.
