User Preferences

Updated by Amy Thomas

Admin level users and those with a custom access that includes Company Preferences may make changes to the default settings for your Criteria account.

To set the default preferences for your user profile click the avatar in the top right and select User Preferences. All Criteria users can set their defaults for notifications, viewing sample data and the blind hiring option.

Click Save User Preferences whenever you make any changes to this page.

Note that these changes will only affect you. Each user in your organization will need to set their own preferences.

Notification Preferences

Select how you want to be notified that your candidates have completed testing by ticking the circle next to your preferred option. Click here to learn more about the report options in the Criteria platform.

Send me Score Reports
By default, if you select Send me Score Reports, you will receive the Score Report and the Candidate Summary Report as each candidate completes their testing. If you also wish to receive a copy of the Workplace Insights Report (for assessments where this report is available) in your notification email, please contact your Customer Success Manager to request this. (If you do not want to receive the Summary Report, just the Score Report, ask your Customer Success Manager about turning this off.)

Please note that the report inclusions setting applies across your whole Criteria account. If the Workplace Insights Report email notification setting is enabled, all users in your Criteria account who select Send me Score Reports will receive this report in their notification emails also.
Send me Candidate Summaries
If you would like to be notified when a candidate completes testing and view a summary of their results without needing to login to your Criteria account, select Send me Candidate Summaries. You will receive an email notification with the Candidate Summary Report as each candidate completes their testing.
Send me a notice
If you would like to be notified when a candidate completes testing, but plan to login to your Criteria account to review the results, select Send me a notice.
Do not notify me
If you do not wish to receive email notifications each time a candidate completes testing, select Do not notify me. You can still view your candidates' results in your Criteria account.

You can email specific candidates' results to yourself by using the Share Results function. Alternatively, you may want to generate a spreadsheet of the results.

Video Interview

Select how you want to be notified that your candidates have completed a video interview by ticking the circle next to your preferred option.

Send me a notice
When each candidate completes the video interview, you will receive a notification email if this option is selected. You can then login to your Criteria account to view and evaluate the candidate's responses.
Do not notify me
If you do not wish to receive email notifications each time a candidate completes testing, select Do not notify me. You can still locate and view your candidates' responses in your Criteria account.

Show Sample Data

If you do not wish to see the sample jobs in your jobs feed, toggle Show Sample Data to the off position. When toggled on, the Sample Jobs are visible in the Jobs list.

Blind Hiring Option

Turn Blind Hiring Option on if you do not want to see your candidates' names and email addresses in the candidate card, candidate list, or reports.

Please note that this feature does not hide personal details listed in some areas of the Criteria platform.
For example:
- Any documents uploaded to the platform (for example, resumes)
- Application form responses
- Responses to questions in TestMaker tests
- Video Interviewing: images, audio and video recordings may still be visible
- Proctoring: images may still be visible
