Criteria Reviews & Product Details

Hi McKenzie - thank you for your thoughtful and detailed review!

We’re so glad to hear that Criteria is helping you save time, gain deeper insights into candidates, and make more informed hiring and onboarding decisions. Your comment about using the assessments to uncover an authentic view of each candidate—and to tailor coaching and onboarding—is exactly how we hope our platform supports talent success beyond just the hire.

We also appreciate your note about completion rates. While we can’t control every candidate’s follow-through, your approach of using assessment completion as an early indicator of engagement is a smart and effective strategy—one we’ve seen echoed by other customers as well.

Thank you again for sharing your experience, and for making Criteria a part of your hiring process.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we’re truly sorry to hear about your recent experience.

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.

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.

We also appreciate your feedback regarding language accessibility. At Criteria, we recognize that language can significantly impact how candidates engage with assessments. That’s why we offer assessments in over 25 languages, with more being added regularly.

To ensure quality and fairness, Criteria follows a rigorous translation and validation process that includes expert linguists, native-speaking reviewers, and industrial-organizational psychologists. 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. If you’d like to explore our available language options or need support tailoring assessments for a multilingual candidate pool, our team would be happy to assist. Thank you for choosing Criteria.
