What is ComPAS Now™?
ComPAS Now™ stands for Competency Profiling and Assessment Service. It is an on-line service for the Corporates and the Public. It helps organizations achieve operational efficiency and performance excellence. It can also give advance information, before hiring, how an employee would respond on the work floor, what competencies can be expected from him/her, and whether his/her skills and attitudes will match the specific job profile of the company.
How ComPAS Now™ come out with the prediction and what is the concept behind it?
At ComPAS Now™ we profile, assess and predict the competency of people and match them against different job profiles so that companies can hire them with confidence. To do this, we pick up subconsciously repeated patterns in people. These patterns are specific, identifiable and repeated umpteen times in different situations in people’s lives and work.
These patterns are, sometimes, differently referred to as Beliefs, Filters, or Mental Programming. The subconscious mind uses these patterns as a reference base for our actions, responses, judgments and decision-making. If you have a pattern like, “I am a shy person”, this will be expressed in all your actions and responses in related contexts in life as well as at the workplace.
People do not like to change these patterns because they are comfortable with them, because their subconscious mind wants to keep them and fights vigorously to retain them forever. Any change in these patterns would mean a drastic revision of their behaviour and response system.
At ComPAS Now™ we are able to identify the repeated patterns in people and group them into skills, characteristics and attitudes (competencies) that are required to do a particular job effectively.
How reliable is the prediction from ComPAS Now™?
Most of our responses and behaviour in any given context are subconsciously repeated patterns. Imagine yourself putting on your clothes in the morning. Which of your hands do you put in first, your right hand or your left hand? If you have put in your right hand first, one can predict with 100% accuracy that next time, also, when you dress up you will put in your right hand first. You may consciously try to change it. But the moment you remove your conscious effort, your subconscious mind will take over and you are back to your normal responses and behaviors. Even the choice of words you use in your conversation is an unconscious process. Hence the prediction can be with 85-90% accuracy, as we base our prediction on subconsciously repeated patterns. 10-15% of grace margin may be given to conscious awareness that can slightly change the pattern for a while.
Can these subconscious patterns be doctored?
It is possible that a candidate gives a studied response consciously. But as those responses are not genuine, they can result in conflicting patterns which cannot exist together in a person’s day-to-day life. Our system can identify these conflicting responses and send you a report of their occurrence in a candidate and furnish you with a percentage of discrepancy or inconsistency.
