Competence Analysis & Development Tool

See character and competence in balance with the C.A.D.T.®

Talent gets hired for the CV and succeeds, or struggles, because of the person behind it. The Competence Analysis & Development Tool (CADT) maps archetypes, competencies and balance, so you know who you are truly appointing and how they will grow.
CourtesyMasters is a boutique hospitality search agency that has measured leadership potential since 1999, applying the C.A.D.T.® archetype analysis for employers and professionals worldwide. You have met the candidate twice, and they were impressive both times. You still cannot say how they will lead in month six.

An interview rewards preparation. It shows you who presents well, not who holds a room together when the season turns, the team is tired and nothing is going to plan.

That is the gap the C.A.D.T.® closes. It maps preferred energy across four zones, ten chosen competencies and the two balances where strength and tension meet. Not a score out of ten. A picture of how someone is built.

The analysis is completed remotely and in confidence, then discussed with you personally, so the profile helps you decide rather than sitting in a drawer. It sits naturally inside our six-step methodology: as part of a search, as a check before a final decision, or as the opening of a development conversation.

A lakeside property once appointed a director whose profile showed a steadiness under pressure that no interview had surfaced. Two seasons on, the team is still intact.

Share the appointment you are weighing, in confidence, and we will show you what the C.A.D.T.® would reveal.
