Introducing Criteria to Hiring Managers 

To: Hiring Managers 

Subject: Exciting News! Introducing Criteria for hiring and talent success 

Hi team, 

We have some exciting news! We will soon begin using Criteria for our hiring and talent success initiatives. 

Criteria is a talent success platform that will help us make more objective, evidence-based talent decisions that both reduce bias and drive better business outcomes. The Criteria platform will give us access to a comprehensive suite of scientifically designed assessments, structured interviewing, and talent management tools.  

By incorporating science-based assessments, structured interviewing, and talent management tools into our talent decisions, we are taking a huge step towards making our hiring, onboarding, and talent development processes, more reliable, objective and efficient.  

For our hiring managers, Criteria will be a game-changer. You will have access to more insights to help you fairly compare candidates and gain a deeper understanding of their skills, job-related traits and competencies, work preferences, and more. These insights will enable you to make more data-driven talent decisions and help you identify the best candidates for our team. 

In the coming weeks, each hiring manager will receive resources relevant to the roles they are hiring for. These resources will help you understand Criteria’s solutions and guide you on how to effectively use the platform to hire and develop the best people. 

Want to learn more? Check out the FAQs or reach out to your [People & Culture contact] who will be more than happy to support you throughout the process. 

Thank you all for helping us hire more of the best!

To: Internal team members 

Subject: Help us hire more of the best! 

Hi team, 

We have some great news! We will soon begin using Criteria to enhance our talent acquisition efforts and would like to invite you to participate in this exciting initiative. 

By incorporating Criteria’s science-based assessments into our talent decisions, we are taking a huge step towards making our hiring process more reliable, efficient, and objective.  

For our hiring teams, Criteria will be a game-changer. Our hiring teams will have access to more insights to help us gain a deeper understanding of candidates’ skills, job-related traits and competencies, work preferences, and more. These insights will enable us to make more data-driven talent decisions and to identify the best candidates for our team. 

How can you help us hire the best? 

In light of the benefits of using Criteria, we would like to invite you to participate in completing the assessments. Your valuable involvement will help us establish a benchmark that enables us to set a strong baseline of performance. This is so that we can identify and attract more exceptional people like you to join our team! 

By completing these assessments, you will contribute to our goal of identifying and selecting exceptional candidates who possess the skills and attributes crucial for our continued success. Your participation and feedback on this process will also be invaluable in shaping our assessment practices and enhancing our talent acquisition efforts. 

What to expect? 

In the coming days, you will receive an invite with instructions to complete [two] assessments. These assessments are designed to evaluate different aspects of your abilities and traits that are relevant to the positions we hire for. 

Please note that your individual assessment results will remain strictly confidential. Our aim is to use the anonymized and aggregated data to establish a baseline for future hiring decisions, and not to evaluate individual performance.
