Multiple Rounds of Testing

Updated by Amy Thomas

Conducting multiple rounds of candidate testing is easy in the Criteria platform.

Candidate Journey Builder

If you are creating a job or copying a job that uses the Candidate Journey Builder, you do not need to create a pipeline or test batteries beforehand.

  1. Create a job: select the tests that will be used for the first round of testing during the job creation process. By default, these will be added to Stage 1 in the Candidate Journey.
  2. In the Candidate Journey Builder, add a new stage.
  3. In the new stage - Stage 2 - click to add assessments. You can either select an existing test battery or create a test battery on the fly.
  4. Add score ranges to help you review your candidates' results or automatically progress them to the next stage in the pipeline.
  5. Invite your candidates to the job; they will be asked to complete the first round of testing (and application form if you are using one).
  6. If you are manually reviewing candidates who have completed the Round 1 tests, use filters to screen out candidates who will not be progressed. Use the Bulk Actions function to move the successful candidates to the next testing round stage in the pipeline.
    1. You can also move the unsuccessful candidates for that round of testing to the Not Hired stage in the pipeline. Add an automated email to this stage to let candidates know they will not be progressing.

Classic Job Settings

If your job is using the Classic Job Settings layout, you will need to create your pipeline and test batteries before creating your job.

  1. Create a pipeline that includes two stages for testing.
    1. If your pipeline includes an application form, this will be presented to candidates in the Incoming stage. You can add assessments to this stage also or create two additional stages for each round of testing.
  2. Create a test battery for each round of testing being conducted.
  3. Copy an existing job that uses the Classic Job Settings layout and update the settings to the new pipeline and test batteries you set up.
  4. Add score ranges to help you review your candidates' results or automatically progress them to the next stage in the pipeline.
  5. Invite your candidates to the job; they will be asked to complete the first round of testing (and application form if you are using one).
  6. If you are manually reviewing candidates who have completed the Round 1 tests, use filters to screen out candidates who will not be progressed. Use the Bulk Actions function to move the successful candidates to the next testing round stage in the pipeline.
    1. You can also move the unsuccessful candidates for that round of testing to the Not Hired stage in the pipeline. Add an automated email to this stage to let candidates know they will not be progressing.
