We understand it can be difficult to decide which assessments to use as part of your recruitment process, so we've put together some resources to assist you.
When you set up a job in your Criteria account, you are presented with our recommended test battery for that role. This recommendation is based on the most common KSAs (Knowledge, Skills, Abilities) for the role. You can select the recommended test battery or use it as a basis for creating your own for the job.
When considering which assessments to send to your candidates, please begin by thinking about what you want out of using assessments. What would you like to learn about your candidates? How do these traits relate to success in the role the candidates are applying for?
