Science-Backed Assessments + Talent Signal:
Go beyond resumes with cognitive aptitude, personality, EQ, skills, and risk assessments validated by I/O psychologists. Configure BambooHR stages to automatically trigger invitations. Results flow directly into BambooHR, surfacing a comprehensive Talent Signal — a single, objective score that predicts who will succeed.
Predictive Interviewing:
Conduct async and real-time video interviews that minimize bias and predict performance. Behaviourally anchored rating scales keep every evaluator consistent.
Criteria’s interviewing suite includes transcripts, summaries, and insights sourced and constrained by I/O psychologists, not engineers — available in the base Criteria Interview package. Upgrade to the Criteria AI Interview Package to unlock AI scoring as accurate as an expert grader, plus the AI Interview Agent, which conducts natural-feeling AI voice interviews that score transparently and scale hiring without sacrificing quality. Every output is explainable, auditable, and tied to job-relevant criteria.
AI Proctoring:
In an era of AI-generated applications, candidate authenticity matters. Criteria’s AI Proctoring helps with identity verification and continuous monitoring to confirm test integrity — so your assessment results reflect real candidate potential, not coached or fraudulent responses. Available in Criteria AI Assess Package.
