Criteria

Easy to do business with!

Kommentare: As the title clearly states - they are easy to do business with! They are communicative from the selling process to the ongoing management of our account. We have bi-annual check meetings with our account rep. When we experience challenges, we have quick turn-around times and do not struggle for long.

Vorteile:

As we have moved to more remote work, I'm so glad that we implemented this software at the start of 2020. It took almost a year to review assessment providers, and almost all of them were missing something. Criteria had it all! On top of the great product, the service and the pricing have been phenomenal. We also are very excited when there are additional assessments added. Now that we are through the brunt of the pandemic, we will start leveraging the assessments for development needs on our team. We are targeted to grow by 12% YOY, and we promote on average 14% of our internal talent.

Nachteile:

We had some bumps with building our own assessment, however, no other vendor could do this for us with minimal production costs. Even though we had bumps, it has been worth it to have our needs met. Everything about this product has not only met our expectations, however, has gone above and beyond!

Exceptional Test Alternative

Kommentare: It's been great. The product is great, and their care team is great. From sales to our current account rep, they have been fantastic.

Vorteile:

Criteria has an abundance of testing options for recruiting new employees as well as testing current employees. Their cognitive ability test is very useful when trying to determine a candidate's workability. Their personality test is also very helpful when mapping out how a candidate will function in a certain role.

Nachteile:

We've only been using Criteria for a few months, and I love it. Can't think of any cons yet.

Close the Door on Criteria

Kommentare: We have stopped using it altogether for our business. Would not recommend it.

Vorteile:

The promise of Criteria's value was great

Nachteile:

The reality of the solution is that the content and the relevance of the test outcomes are inconsistent.

Please Make it so you can Export Scores Directly from Job

Kommentare: Overall good with the major con being the difficulty of exporting assessment scores by job and having to build a report to get your data. It's hard to train recruiters to do this and it's critical to our selection process success.

Vorteile:

Quality of assessments. Integration with ClearCompany

Nachteile:

Inability to run a report from the job. Difficulty of getting data out of Criteria Corp.

Dermatology Partners Review

Kommentare: We have had an overall great experience with Criteria. We feel that it does give a good insight to a candidates skills, etc.

Vorteile:

To be able to create questions around the skills, etc. that you are looking for to fill the position. The emotify piece is great too.

Nachteile:

The majority of our applicants (over 70%) are applying to our positions on their phone or tablet. We have found that many candidates do not own a desk top or lap top and they either will not follow through with the assessment or it takes a longer time to access one to complete the assessment. I would love to see the capability of applicants doing the assessment on their Smart phones.

Great for Assessing Technical and Logical Aptitude in a Virtual Workforce

Kommentare: Our overall experience with Criteria has been positive. The platform gives us a comprehensive overview of candidate capabilities, helping us identify those who will thrive in our remote, cybersecurity-focused environment. The tests are particularly helpful in gauging how much supervision a candidate may need, which is crucial for our virtual work structure.

Vorteile:

Criteria allow us to assess key traits of our candidates, such as their technical capacity and logical reasoning, which is crucial for our cybersecurity and information technology roles. As a diverse, virtual company, the ability to evaluate English proficiency and computer literacy is essential, and Criteria offers us these insights efficiently.

Nachteile:

At times, the logical tests can feel limited in scope, especially for roles that require more advanced problem-solving skills. We would appreciate more depth in the technical assessments to better evaluate higher-level expertise. Additionally, we have encountered occasional issues when candidates use different browsers, such as Microsoft Edge, which can lead to test compatibility problems.

Love the functionality

Kommentare: Criteria integrates with our ATS system so that when a candidate completes an assessment it automatically uploads for recruiters or hiring managers to view. It has been a great experience.

Vorteile:

I like the breakdown of three separate sections of grading. It gives a solid breakdown of what areas the candidate exceeds or struggles with.

Nachteile:

No issues at the moment. Criteria woks well with our systems and gives us the information we need to make hiring decisions.

Highly recommend for recruiting needs!

Kommentare: The partnership with them is great. My account team reaches out to me frequently regarding new product

Vorteile:

It easily integrates with our ATS I love the different test blocks for different roles The scores have consistently predicted top candidates

Nachteile:

Pricing is a little steep but I wouldn't say too far off other aptitude tests

Helpful friend!

Kommentare: Love this tool! Great feature and easy to send to other Hiring managers, as well as an easy integration with Jazz HR!

Vorteile:

I love being able to understand my candidates' strengths and potential areas of growth before I even interview them!

Nachteile:

Setting up the assessment per job, it's a bit clunky.

Criteria - A great Partner with our HR Department

Kommentare: Overall, I have had a great experience with Criteria. Customer Support is prompt and informative. Would recomm4end to anyone looking for testing and support for their HR department.

Vorteile:

Great support for our HR department. Testing options are plentiful and has helped us to find the best person to join our staff.

Nachteile:

That in order to have someone take a test in Spanish, we need to upgrade our package. It isn't worth the increase for us at this time.

Another tool in the tool box

Kommentare: Customer service has been outstanding. Representatives are very responsive.

Vorteile:

Online skills testing and one-way interviews help us to narrow down our applicant pool. This system is fairly easy to set-up and is user friendly.

Nachteile:

We needed the ability to do some additional customizations that are not yet available.

Good service, brilliant idea and workflow, questionable claims on desired results

Vorteile:

The concept is great - relatively easy, short assessments for potential candidates. Great workflow and communication. Good Criteria team and onboarding/response support.

Nachteile:

The claims about the quality of hires are vastly overstated.I think their intentions are very good, but they really don't have a handle on whether the product and workflow actually works as they state. The process for modifying assessments to hone a better process is vague or non-existent. In the end, it appears to be a generic assessment across a very broad range of industries and jobs (in our case sales roles)

Criteria is a valuable tool for my team

Kommentare: I love learning about new applications and have really enjoyed getting to know Criteria. There are so many functions available and I look forward to continuing to use the product.

Vorteile:

Criteria was easy to learn in my new position and the customer support from [sensitive content hidden] was amazing. She checks in often and answers any questions my team has very quickly. There are test templates that can be used or you can create your own to suit your company's needs. This was very helpful to my HR team, as our company recruits for so many different positions.

Nachteile:

When creating a test, some of the steps seem redundant but it's important that they're done so that the tests work properly.

A must in the interview process

Vorteile:

Ability to find talent in non traditional ways.

Nachteile:

Most assessments must be done on a computer and not a phone.

Great platform and Wonderful Customer Service

Vorteile:

My company has used Criteria for just over 5 years. I love the various assessments we are able to choose from. I love that the assessments have explanations of their rank in terms of overall candidates. This gives us a better idea of how well the candidate may perform or not perform at work. The customer service with the company has been amazing. They are always willing to answer questions, reach out frequently to check on us, and if an issues arises, they are quick to work on a solution.

Nachteile:

There has not been too much I do not like about Criteria.

Simplicity of Use

Kommentare: I love that I can search for a job title and it recommends test banks to use, which saves us time. It is intuitive to use.

Vorteile:

I love the price, I love the product, I love the information. It recommends test banks to use, which saves us time.

Nachteile:

lack of integration. There is no specific information about all their possible integrations.

My Experience using Criteria

Kommentare: Overall it is very good, I never used something like this and happy to have a user friendly platform.

Vorteile:

It is very user friendly and easy to send to candidates.

Nachteile:

I do not enjoy how there is cognitive test with a personality test.

My recruitment aid

Kommentare: Fantastic!! Must have saved at least 100 hours of productive time thanks to you guys!!!

Vorteile:

Helps with the pre screening. It's saved me time & grief with my new hires.

Nachteile:

I'm a fan of criteria because of what I mentioned above.

Definitely would recommend

Kommentare: This is good for our needs, it is another layer in our hiring process.

Vorteile:

Criteria is customizable and easy to use. It is another layer in our hiring process and allows us to see someone skill level before the offer.

Nachteile:

The results are sometimes hard to understand.

Criteria Sales Insights

Kommentare: It's a useful aid to support the intuitive and gut response.

Vorteile:

Visual data sets and insights that we receive

Nachteile:

It took a minute to navigate the system. But now we are navigating it very well.

Criteria Review

Kommentare: Efficient, its safe, it provides quality service.

Vorteile:

It provides feedback instantly, its easy to navigate-user-friendly. It has no limits for candidates who can write the assessment.

Nachteile:

It does not provide automated responses for passed and regrets feedback.

Criteria's Pros & Cons

Kommentare: Overall this has been a fantastic platform to use. Our account rep has been awesome when we have questions. They even have a self-service option which is a huge help when working off hours. Testing has been consistent and easy to implement into our recruiting platforms. Would highly recommend this platform to other users.

Vorteile:

I really appreciate the ease of use the entire platform provides our company. The different tests/scores that are provided for our industry have proven themselves accurate and consistent with our hires. This platform and its ability to drill down to each applicants personality helps save time and provides more understanding and areas that we as the hiring team should drill down to.

Nachteile:

My least favorite thing about this platform is the grading on the personality assessment. Sometimes we can get results that are "inconclusive" or provide red flags, and what we have found is that this generally comes down to language barriers. People who are not originally from the USA trying to take a test that uses vague questions can prove to be problematic.

Criteria Assessment Tool

Kommentare: Our experience has been very positive and we love the Criteria. We are in a better place to identify if a candidate is likely to be successful in our customer success environment.

Vorteile:

It was very easy to deploy and quickly replaced the system we were using.

Nachteile:

I tried to create my own assessment but I did not like the way the delivered score looked. It may have been customizable but I did not attempt to review again.

Promoter

Kommentare: Hands down I would recommend them to others looking to use the pre-employment software. The product is solid and the customer service can't be beaten.

Vorteile:

HireSelect is a great company. Their software platform is solid and provides an invaluable resource to make hiring decisions with less risk and more insight into a candidate's capabilities and fit. My favorite part of working with them though is their customer service. It is outstanding and above and beyond the level of support I receive from any other vendors I've worked with throughout my career. They are responsive, highly competent, and very willing to make adjustments to the software that better serve our needs as customers.

Nachteile:

They recently rolled out a new platform and there were a few technical issues that were quickly addressed (so that's not actually a problem, but another nod to their support and responsiveness). They do have one issue that they are still addressing which is that their testing services don't always work without error on Explorer or Edge internet browsers. It's a minor issue as we've simply started telling candidates to take it on another browser instead. That's the only reason for me giving them a 4 on quality, otherwise, I'm definitely a huge promoter of HireSelect.

Criteria

Vorteile:

The ease of keeping up with candidates and all their information. Also the ease of building our own questionnaires.

Nachteile:

It doesn't tell you that you need to log back in when it has timed out. It just sits when you need to until you figure out to refresh and log back in.
