Shadowmatch® at Gap Cognition
Transform behaviour. Transform performance.
One short assessment. Powerful insights. Real business change.
If you’re tired of “gut-feel hiring,” culture misfits, or teams that just don’t click—Shadowmatch shows you how people actually work so you can recruit smarter, develop better, and build teams that perform.
Why Shadowmatch (in plain language)
Here’s the truth: skills open the door, but habits decide what happens after. Shadowmatch maps the habits that lead to success in your environment—then helps you replicate them in hiring, team development and leadership coaching.
What you’ll get:
-
A behavioural blueprint of your top performers
-
A clear fit-for-role match for new hires
-
Team insights that show where the friction is and how to fix it
-
Personal development paths that actually stick (because they’re habit-based)

Recruitment & Selection (Precision Placement)
If you keep saying “great CV, wrong fit,” this is for you.
We benchmark your top performers and match candidates to that reality — not a generic profile.
You’ll hire people who thrive in your environment, not just look good on paper.
Includes:
Top-Performer Benchmark • Interview Packs • Fit-for-Role Match
Results:
Better retention • Faster onboarding • Fewer hiring mistakes
Team Benchmarking & Performance
When the parts are talented but the machine grinds, the issue is behaviour alignment.
We identify the patterns that help or hinder performance — responsiveness, discipline, resilience, problem-solving — so you can remove friction and strengthen collaboration.
Includes:
Team Heat-maps • Role Fit Matrix • Manager Playbook
Results:
Clear drivers, measurable alignment, improved productivity
Personal Development Plans (PDPs) that Stick
We’ve all filled out a PDP that gathered dust.
Shadowmatch PDPs work because they build new habits through repetition, mentorship and reflection — turning growth goals into daily actions.
Includes:
PDP Pathways • Mentor Guide • Progress Tracking
Results:
Sustainable behaviour change • Visible improvement metrics
Team Benchmarking & Performance
Culture isn’t “vibe” — it’s visible habits.
We measure the gap between your desired culture and the behaviours people use to get work done, then coach leaders to close that gap.
Includes:
Behaviour–Culture Gap Map • Leadership Habit Lens • Quarterly Reviews
Results:
Aligned culture • Stronger engagement • Better teamwork
Hybrid & Remote Readiness
Remote work demands different habits — ownership, structure, and self-motivation.
We help teams build those habits and set healthy rhythms that drive performance.
Includes:
Hybrid Habit Profile • Rituals & Cadence Toolkit
Results:
Clear expectations • Greater accountability • Less micromanagement
Sport & High-Performance Environments
Same science, different arena.
From player development to coach-athlete dynamics, we map performance habits and improve team combinations and man-management.
Includes:
Role-Specific Benchmarks • Sub-Group Mapping • Coach–Player Insights
Results:
Stronger mental game • Smarter pairings • Consistent results
