"Confirm or challenge our perception of the Prospects Critical Thinking Skills Pre Hire."
5/5
What do you like best about Criteria?

Pre Hire confirmation or challenge of our perception of the Candidates Critical Thinking Skills.

The report that goes to the test taker we have seen a pattern that so far always matches to a top performer. Not all top performers have it, but all who have it are top performers so far.

Potential insights into other dynamics of the people we hire.

We do not take any of it as absolutely true, just worth looking closer at in some cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Criteria?

I imagine that on occasion we lose a candidate due to them having a bias against being tested, but perhaps that is a good screening function. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Criteria Corp of Criteria

Hi Eric, thank you for your insightful review! We're glad to hear that Criteria’s assessments—particularly those measuring critical thinking—are helping your team validate or challenge initial impressions of candidates during the hiring process. It's great to know that you've observed a strong correlation between high performers and those who score well on the assessments, and that you're using the results as a valuable data point to dig deeper when needed. This kind of evidence-based approach is what our tools are designed to support: helping teams make more informed, confident hiring decisions while reducing the risk of costly mis-hires.

We also appreciate your balanced perspective on candidate reactions to testing. While some candidates may be hesitant, many appreciate the opportunity to demonstrate their abilities beyond a resume or interview. In fact, our research shows that 96% of test takers report a positive experience with our assessments, and many candidates feel that assessments give them a fairer chance to showcase their potential. That said, we understand the importance of candidate experience and are always working to ensure our assessments are engaging, accessible, and aligned with your hiring goals.

Thank you again for your feedback and for using Criteria as part of your hiring strategy. If you’re ever interested in exploring additional insights—such as personality traits or emotional intelligence—to complement your evaluation of critical thinking, we’d be happy to help you expand your approach. Your thoughtful use of the platform is exactly what we strive to support.

"Consideration for non-native English speakers"
2.5/5
What do you like best about Criteria?

Clear evaluation metrics make easier to measure performance and outcomes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Criteria?

The assessment does not adequately address the needs of individuals for whom English is not a native language. Language barriers can hinder comprehension and participation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Criteria Corp of Criteria

Thank you for your thoughtful review and for highlighting both the strengths and areas for improvement in your experience with Criteria.

We’re glad to hear that you value Criteria’s clear evaluation metrics and the role our assessments play in reducing bias and promoting fairness in hiring. That’s a core part of our mission: to help organizations make more objective, data-driven talent decisions.

This process ensures that each translated assessment maintains its scientific validity while sounding natural and culturally appropriate in the target language.

We’re committed to making our platform more inclusive and accessible for non-native English speakers, and your feedback helps us continue to improve.

"Psychometric assessments and video interview"
5/5
What do you like best about Criteria?

We use the Criteria products for bulk and non bulk recruitment. The technology is reliable, the team are very customer focused (responsive and willing to take on feedback) and the insights we gain from the products we use (psychometric testing and video interviews) support the process of making informed decisions around candidate suitability in a timely manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Criteria?

Our largest recruitment programs have up to 5,000 candidates and whilst the technology is reliable, it is impossible to get through that volume without some candidates experiencing technical issues. The response times from the Criteria support team to these candidates can be mixed and I'd imagine this is dependent on what support they are providing to other customers at the time. Dislike is a stretch. More a piece of constructive feedback which I have shared with the team who I rate highly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Criteria Corp of Criteria

Hi Tim, thank you for your thoughtful and constructive review—we truly appreciate your feedback and your continued partnership.

We’re thrilled to hear that Criteria’s psychometric assessments and video interviewing tools are helping your team make informed, timely hiring decisions across both bulk and non-bulk recruitment.

We also appreciate your kind words about our customer-focused team—responsiveness and collaboration are core to how we support our clients.

Regarding your note on support response times during high-volume campaigns, thank you for raising this. We understand how critical it is to maintain a seamless candidate experience, especially when managing programs with thousands of applicants. Your feedback has been shared with our team, and we’re actively working to improve scalability and responsiveness during peak periods. We’re committed to continuously enhancing our service and technology to meet the evolving needs of high-volume recruitment teams like yours.

Thanks again for your trust in Criteria!

"Easy to use for end users"
5/5
What do you like best about Criteria?

The system is exceptionally efficient on the administrative side of our hiring process. It effectively filters out unqualified candidates for our more specialized positions, including CNC operators, welders, and management roles. The screening process not only saves us valuable time but also ensures that we focus on the most suitable applicants. Additionally, the test results are generated promptly and presented in a clear, easy-to-understand format, making it simple to evaluate candidates' qualifications at a glance. the email link that provides access to the testing results is an invaluable resource, as it streamlines communication and ensures everyone involved can easily access the necessary information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Criteria?

Managing multiple roles can make it challenging to track and distribute testing results effectively. When you’re required to send results to various stakeholders, the process can quickly become overwhelming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Laura Libby of Criteria

What do you dislike about Criteria?

You no longer get your own account manager everything runs through customer support and needs escalation, pricing has vastly changed, some former offerings have been removed without notice, job families could be more expansive but similar position types are available, no more renewal conversations just a late invoice in your inbox.
