## Reviews

### "Good assessment platform" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *1 September 2026* | Information Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: the thing I like most is how easy and reliable it is for candidates to use. I also appreciate the option to see candidate's individual answers for every one of my assessments.
> 
> **Cons**: I found the dashboard a little hard to navigate and I would also appreciate the option to be able to easily review and change questions in the assessment sent to candidate.
> 
> My overall experience with Criteria has been good. It's reliable and usable. There are some things that could be enhanced but not many.

### "User-Friendly Platform" — 4.0/5

> **Erika** | *31 August 2026* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I liked that Criteria was easy to use and didn’t take much time to learn. The features are straightforward, and it makes the candidate assessment process simple and organized.
> 
> **Cons**: The only thing I’d say is that it would be nice to have more options to customize the assessments for specific roles. More flexibility with the questions would make it easier to fit the assessment to the position.
> 
> Overall, my experience with Criteria has been good. It’s easy to use and helps keep the candidate assessment process organized. I feel like it’s secure and provides good value for the features it offers. I haven’t really used the payroll management features, so I can’t speak much about that.

### "Criteria- Talent Hunt" — 5.0/5

> **Muhammad Zohaib** | *20 August 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Criteria Software offers a user-friendly experience with a manageable learning curve and strong security for HR data. It provides good value for money with comprehensive features, customization options, and efficient candidate interview management. Its payroll management capabilities also help automate processes, reduce manual work, and improve accuracy.
> 
> **Cons**: Criteria Software have advanced features, and some customizations can require additional technical support. Cost will increase with additional users or features, while certain advanced HR, interview, and payroll requirements may need extra configuration.
> 
> My overall experience remains very good with it. As I am a Talent Acquisition officer and also working on payroll as well, it is making my work easy.

### "Recruiter Experience and Hiring Team's Value from CCAT" — 2.0/5

> **Tiffany** | *1 September 2026* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like the integration between GreenHouse. It is super easy to use and very intuitive for folks that are sending out the CCAT to candidates through our ATS system.
> 
> **Cons**: I don't think it provides a whole lot of information to the Hiring Manager that isn't something we can find from a normal interview process. It's been difficult getting Hiring Teams to read through the results and use the data provided and most of them feel they don't think it provides any additional information that would be necessary to make a hiring decision. I also don't like that you can't send a second criteria corp link through our GH integration and instead we have to go on Criteria Corp's website to find the candidate and send it via the web browser.
> 
> My overall experience with Criteria has been okay. I think overall the product did a great job with integration with the ATS system but to be honest I don't 100% see the value in the product itself coming from the recruiting side or the hiring team size.

### "We love Criteria" — 5.0/5

> **Jason** | *24 June 2026* | Building Materials | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Ease of use and the pricing model was great.  Sensing assesments and reviewing the scores makes it easier than any other platform.
> 
> **Cons**: The website is a bit clunky at spots but once you get the hang of it it’s fine.  I needed about 2 hours to become savvy.
> 
> 10 out of 10.  Easiest buying decision I have made this year.  All inclusive pricing, multiple assessments.  Perfect.
