### "Criteria- Important Tool for Candidate Review"

October 8, 2024

5.0

Has been very beneficial in helping us grow from 50 employees to the 90+ we are currently sitting at.

Pros

Has been good. We use Rubicon and they determine our assessments that we use.

Pros

Easy to use platform, user-friendly, clear who point of contacts are. It is also pretty easy how to create an assessment and the reports generated from the EPP is very clear and usefuly for hiring managers with interview questions

Reporting could be better. Integration with ADP on hiring statuses. I think there could be better practice assessments we could use so candidates can prepare better rather than 1 or 2 sample questions.

Pros

My company has used 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.

### "Easy to do business with!"

August 2, 2021

5.0

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.

Pros

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. 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.

Cons

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!

Reason for choosing Criteria

We looked at two other providers, and they couldn't deliver on the assessments we needed or beat the cost savings!

Switched from

[ProfileXT](https://www.capterra.com/p/72975/ProfileXT/)

The PXT is too cumbersome. Too much-antiquated data and overwhelming for our leadership. Also, the cost was on a per person test, vs. an annual subscription with . I love their product and their cost structure 100% more than the PXT with Profiles International. Our leaders are happier we made the switch too!

### "Criteria's Pros & Cons"

November 22, 2021

4.0

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.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

is helping us make better judgement for placing applicants in the position best suited for them. It has been easy to use this system. I look forward to setting up our own tests that deal with specific machinery in the plant.

Pros

I love the fact that you can test an unlimited amount of applicants every month. Implementation was super easy. Easy to maneuver through platform.

Cons

Nothing to complain about at all. The only suggestion is that the introductory call would be nice in the first week you begin to use the system.
