Zap Solutions, Altus Assessments Partner on Admissions Data

Zap Solutions has partnered with Altus Assessments to integrate CASPer scores with the AMP student admissions platform.

CASPer is an online screening tool designed to evaluate students and graduates on personal characteristics such as empathy, professionalism, ethics and communication.

"The partnership and integration provides mutual customers with their applicant's CASPer scores and booking status automatically displayed in the AMP platform," according to a news release. "This gives the admissions committee a single location to quickly screen for the most holistically strong applicants, looking beyond cognitive scores and book smarts."

"We are thrilled to have the opportunity to partner with Altus, and to offer our clients the ability to utilize CASPer Data within our AMP software," says Zach Hraber, President of ZAP Solutions. "We are continuously striving to improve AMP and we believe that CASPer Data will help us in providing our clients with the tools & data sets that they need to holistically choose the applicants that are the very best fit for their school."
