I can’t point to a particular problem except if someone o not computer saavy it might be hard for them > > Overall experience I good mt company used it a while we just stopped because we don’t recruit enough ----- ### "Wonderful Partnership" — 5.0/5 > **Sarah** | *April 3, 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Honestly, the automation is what sold me. My team is small and moving quickly - we don’t have the capacity for a process with a lot of manual touchpoints. With Criteria, once a candidate reaches a stage, the next steps happen automatically - assessments, progression, and rejections. It takes a lot off the team’s plate. More importantly, that time goes back into what matters — real conversations with candidates and stronger partnership with hiring managers. The automation is what allows the human part of our process to scale. And with a 90%+ completion rate, it’s clear the experience works for candidates too - it’s not just efficient, it’s fair and straightforward. > > **Cons**: My one real frustration? Setting up the BARS in Interview Intelligence takes forever. Like, the concept is great - I love that we're anchoring evaluator ratings to actual behaviors so we get consistency across the team. But the setup is genuinely tedious, and for a tool that's supposed to make my process more efficient, the build time feels like it works against that promise a little. It's not a dealbreaker, but it's the thing I'd fix first if I had Criteria's product roadmap in front of me." > > Our experience has been world class. Their tools have allowed us to address the incredible spike in volume that we have seen this year with barely a hiccup. We feel confident that the quality of our candidates has been consistently above average because of our partnership with Criteria. We are expanding our reach to our entire organization this year to have truly global assessment coverage. ----- ### "Streamlining Recruitment with Data-Driven Insights: A Comprehensive Review of Criteria" — 3.0/5 > **Jared** | *January 17, 2025* | Apparel & Fashion | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Criteria provides a wide array of pre-employment tests, including cognitive ability tests, personality assessments, skills tests, and more. This gives companies flexibility in assessing candidates for various roles. > > **Cons**: For smaller companies or startups, the pricing structure of Criteria may be a concern. The platform’s fees can be relatively high, especially for businesses with a limited budget or fewer hiring needs. > > Criteria is highly regarded for its ability to enhance the recruitment process by offering objective, scalable, and scientifically backed assessments, but companies should carefully consider how it fits within their specific hiring strategy and budget. ----- ### "Worth every penny\!" — 5.0/5 > **Mari** | *April 2, 2026* | Logistics & Supply Chain | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: We love that we're able to "see a picture" of the candidate before they enter our building for an interview. > > **Cons**: I think the reporting could be a little better, but it's not bad overall. I can't think of anything else that I do NOT like about Criteria. It's worked out great for us\! > > It's been wonderful. We are able to utilize it every day, and our Managers love that they are able to have something besides a resume to get to know the candidate before their interview. ----- ### "Structured and Skill-Focused Assessment Platform" — 5.0/5 > **Yasmin** | *April 16, 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I liked most about Criteria is the variety and structure of its assessments. It allows for a more objective evaluation of candidates by focusing on real skills and competencies rather than just resumes. The platform is also straightforward to use and helps improve hiring decisions. > > **Cons**: One downside of Criteria is that certain tests can feel lengthy or repetitive, and the instructions aren’t always as clear as they could be. This can sometimes make the process feel more tedious than necessary. > > Option 2 (slightly more detailed): Overall, I’ve had a good experience with Criteria. It offers a reliable and standardized way to evaluate candidates based on skills and abilities rather than just resumes. The platform is easy to use, though some assessments can be time-consuming. Despite that, it adds value to the hiring process. ----- Page: 1 / 9\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/119740/criteria?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/119740/criteria) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
