It allows for a much more precise evaluation process. Furthermore, the platform enables us to use performance scores to validate our hiring quality, providing historical data that will be invaluable for making more informed, data-driven hiring decisions in the future. > > **Cons**: One significant drawback is the inability to view or export aggregate test scores for all candidates in one place. This forces us to manually track and compile data in external spreadsheets, which is time-consuming and prevents us from easily leveraging historical data to inform future hiring decisions. > > The staff at Criteria has been incredibly responsive and helpful, consistently providing excellent suggestions on how we can better utilize the full range of features the platform offers. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "A Valuable Tool for Identifying Top Talent" — 5.0/5 > **Junior** | *11 September 2026* | Outsourcing/Offshoring | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I liked most about Criteria was how user-friendly and structured the platform is. It made the assessment process straightforward and provided useful insights to support the overall candidate evaluation. > > **Cons**: Some of the assessments can be quite long, which may make it challenging for candidates to stay fully engaged throughout the process. Shortening certain assessments could make the experience more efficient while still providing valuable insights. > > Overall, my experience with Criteria has been positive. The platform is user-friendly and provides valuable insights to support the candidate assessment process. ----- ### "TA Supervisor" — 5.0/5 > **Alexandra** | *31 August 2026* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Criteria was easy to use and gave us a consistent, standardized way to assess candidates beyond what we could gather from a resume or initial screening. I especially liked the ability to use assessments such as the CCAT to better understand a candidate’s aptitude and problem-solving ability. The platform was straightforward for both recruiters and candidates, and results were easy to review and incorporate into the hiring process. > > **Cons**: The biggest limitation was that assessment results did not always tell the full story of a candidate. For some of the highly technical and field-based positions we recruit for, relevant industry experience and hands-on knowledge can be more valuable than performance on a standardized assessment. Because of that, Criteria worked best as one data point in the hiring decision rather than a deciding factor. > > Overall, my experience with Criteria was positive. It provided an efficient and consistent way to add another layer of data to our candidate evaluation process and was easy to manage from a recruiting perspective. I found it most valuable when the assessment results were used alongside recruiter screening, technical experience, and hiring manager feedback rather than as a standalone measure of candidate quality. ----- Page: 1 / 11\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/119740/criteria?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.nz/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
