Sort and Filter Candidates by Test Scores

Sorting and filtering allow you to easily identify candidates who best meet your requirements based on their assessment scores. When reviewing your candidate list, you can start by sorting candidates according to their acquired scores - such as Met Score Range, Talent Signal, or individual assessment results. This helps you quickly surface top performers and make informed decisions with minimal effort, especially when you have a smaller candidate pool.
As your candidate pool grows, however, a more targeted approach may be necessary. This is where filtering becomes especially useful. Filtering enables you to narrow down candidates who meet specific score criteria or fall within certain performance ranges. Many of Criteria’s recommended test batteries can be associated with Criteria Score Ranges, allowing you to compare candidates against pre‑validated benchmarks.
Sort candidates
The Sorting feature helps you quickly organize and review candidates based on key metrics. On the Results page, simply click any available column header to sort candidates by Score Range Met, Talent Signal, Candidate Rating, Expiration Date, or other displayed fields.
You can also click Select Columns to show assessment‑specific scores or percentile ranks, then sort based on those. Sorting is especially useful when you have a smaller candidate pool or need a quick view of top performers before applying filters.

- After applying the filters, you’ll see only candidates within the selected score ranges. The filter icon shows how many filters are active.
Advanced Filters
With advanced filtering, you can refine the results further by focusing on a particular assessment, trait score, or percentile range. The set of available filtering options may vary depending on the assessments and scoring models used, giving you flexible control over how precisely you define your candidate criteria.
