What is ADKAR Model?

A goal-oriented change management framework developed by Prosci that breaks individual change into five sequential stages: Awareness, Desire, Knowledge, Ability, and Reinforcement, giving organizations a structured way to drive adoption one person at a time.

Why it matters in hiring

ADKAR Model comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
