Criteria

Criteria (Criteria Corp) is a talent assessment company that sells pre employment tests, structured interviews and employee development tools on one platform. Its site says it serves more than 4,000 organizations in over 60 countries, has delivered more than 80 million assessments and has more than 20 years of work behind its tests.

The core product is scientifically validated pre employment testing, covering aptitude, personality and emotional intelligence, meant to predict what candidates can do rather than only what their resume says. Criteria says its tests are validated by a dedicated team of industrial and organizational psychologists with a scientific advisory board.

Beyond tests, the platform includes real time and asynchronous video interviews with AI scoring, which the company presents as a way to make interviews structured and reduce bias. A development module offers weekly check ins, on demand coaching and personality insights for existing employees.

On AI, Criteria states that every talent decision stays human led and that its scores are explainable and tested for bias. The company says it is certified to ISO 42001, the international standard for AI management systems.

The home page also lists customer outcomes such as reduced turnover and faster hiring. Those are vendor reported case study figures, not independent research, so treat them as marketing claims.

How it fits on TrueIQ: Criteria sits in the psychometrics side of this category, alongside TestGorilla, which offers a large self serve test library. For engineering roles specifically, coding assessment platforms such as HackerRank and Codility test hands on work instead of general aptitude. Criteria sells through demos and its sales team, so prices are not published; contact the company for a quote.
