Recommendations
Users have made several recommendations for improving the experience with the product.
One recommendation is to bring all wants and questions to the demo call and be transparent about previous provider experiences. This will help understand how the product can meet specific needs.
Another recommendation is to ask about internal coworker project work assessments to improve teamwork. This feature would allow team members to collaborate effectively and achieve better results.
Users also suggest inquiring about the option to automatically delete old records. This functionality would help keep the tool organized and prevent clutter from accumulating over time.
Overall, users advise keeping the tool language-independent, properly configuring testing for each role (including a typing test for all positions), and having a good training on the product. While there may be some growing pains with implementing the tool, users praise the support provided by Hireselect.
I used Criteria in my past role as an HR Manager in a healthcare organization and a SaaS company. It served as a great way for me to vet potential candidates with easy-to-use assessments and then move them through the pipeline and the interview process. I used the link to the site in all of my job postings and it made it automatic as a requirement before we would talk to a candidate in person. The support team is top-notch and was always available and quick to answer my questions. If you are looking for an easy-to-use tool to review candidates and track them through the recruiting process, Criteria is perfect for a small to mid-size business.

Best for small to mid-sized companies where you do not have a robust applicant tracking system. It served a dual purpose for my company and made my job easier. If you are large, the applicant tracking system is not beneficial to you while the assessments might be. If it can integrate directly with your system, use it!
