Jared Northup

Jared joined ADP Research in 2023 as a research analyst. He brings with him a lifelong passion for the social sciences and a desire to better understand and contribute to the world of work in a meaningful way.

Prior to joining ADP, Jared spent nearly 15 years collaborating world-wide with school systems, hospitals, hotels, financial institutions, and other organizations, creating assessments to support their personnel selection, team development, and workplace culture-building efforts. He led an eight-member research team, using qualitative and quantitative analysis to create instruments for personnel selection, staff engagement and retention, culture building, and leadership development. He implemented a mixed-methods research approach and statistical data analyses to create and continuously improve personnel selection tools, culture and climate surveys, and other assessments.

Jared graduated from Nebraska Wesleyan University with a bachelor’s degree in sociology and anthropology, with an emphasis in qualitative and quantitative research methods. He has a master’s degree in forensic science, where his thesis focused on the measurement of personal integrity and ethics in law enforcement officers.

Jared devoted many years to the field of social work, where he supported children and families in foster care, while teaching math to elementary and middle school students in a highly gifted program.

He loves participating in marathons and adventure races, watching his wife compete in the Women's Flat Track Derby Association, and spending time at the beach with his family.
