Whether you are conducting a pilot of a new system, completing a benchmark exercise, or introducing Develop to your organisation, we understand how important it is to keep your team informed about and engaged with the process. We've prepared some templates you can use to help you introduce Criteria to people across your organisation and promote understanding of the benefits your chosen solution.
Benchmarking process: Evaluating Criteria as potential provider
Hi team,
We are currently considering a new assessment provider to enhance our talent acquisition process, and your participation will be invaluable in helping us to determine our next steps.
Criteria Corp is an industry-leading provider of scientifically developed and validated pre-hire assessments, and we’ll shortly embark on a benchmarking process with them. This means that you will soon be invited to complete some Criteria assessments, so that we can establish some scoring benchmarks that may be used for future job applicants.
Because the goal of this process is to determine a set of appropriate score ranges for Criteria assessments, all test results will be analyzed by Criteria in aggregate and anonymously. This means your individual test results will not be linked to you in any way. Similarly, this exercise has no impact whatsoever on your job status or performance evaluations.
You’ll soon receive an email from Criteria Corp inviting you to complete <X> assessments. Please ensure you allocate the appropriate amount of time to complete them, and that you do so by the expiration date noted in the email.
We’d like to thank you in advance for your valuable support in helping us to improve our hiring processes. If you have any questions, please check the FAQs or speak with <name of appropriate person>.
Validation or benchmarking process: Criteria as new provider
Hi team,
We’ve recently adopted a new assessment provider to enhance our talent acquisition process, and we need your help to ensure that we can accurately identify candidates who meet our standards for performance.
Criteria Corp is an industry-leading provider of scientifically developed and validated pre-hire tools, and we’re about to embark on a benchmarking process with them. This means that you will shortly be invited to complete some Criteria assessments to produce scoring benchmarks we can use for future job applicants.
Please be assured that, while your participation is crucial to ensure that these benchmarks are accurate, all results will be analyzed in aggregate and anonymously. In other words, they will not be linked to you in any way. Similarly, this exercise has no impact whatsoever on your job status or performance evaluations.
You’ll soon receive an email from Criteria Corp inviting you to complete <X> assessments. Please ensure you allocate the appropriate amount of time to complete them, and that you do so by the expiration date noted in the email.
We’d like to thank you in advance for your valuable support in helping us to improve our hiring processes. If you have any questions, please check the FAQs or speak with <name of appropriate person>.
Introducing Develop to individuals and teams (from HR or P&C leader)
Hi everyone,
As you may have already heard, we’re preparing to launch our new growth and collaboration toolkit, Develop™ by Criteria. It’s an innovative new platform that’s designed to enhance how we work and grow together.
We chose Develop because it’s supported by the same robust science that powers Criteria’s pre-hire assessment tools, with the added advantage of teamwork tools that leverage the strategies of high-performing teams at the top of their game. It offers a fresh perspective on professional development, blending personalized insights with practical tools to help each of us – and the teams we operate in – shine brighter and achieve results.
OK, so what’s in it for me?
- For individuals: You’ll get valuable insights into your unique personality traits and preferences, discover new ways to collaborate with your colleagues, and receive personalized, always-available coaching tailored to your professional journey.
- For teams: You’ll understand your team’s distinctive dynamics, strengths, and growth areas, applying insights from high-performing teams to learn, grow, and achieve together.
- For managers: You’ll get a clear view of your team’s sentiment and distinct synergy, and receive guidance and coaching on leading more effectively, and fostering an environment where every member can thrive.
- For our organization: We’ll be cultivating a culture of continuous learning and development, where every employee has the tools they need to contribute to our shared goals and success.
Ready to get started? Here’s the game plan
- Watch for your invite: Look out for an invitation in the next few days.
- Assess and reflect: Complete the 5-minute, anonymous TEAMscan survey to gauge team sentiment, and the 10-minute Personality Profile to understand your traits, strengths, and preferences.
- Dive into your insights: Review your personality results and, if available, your team’s TEAMscan results.
- Connect with Coach Bo: Engage in a conversation with Coach Bo for coaching as unique as your Personality Profile, offering tailored-to-you strategies to enhance your professional growth.
- Enhance teamwork: When they’ve completed the Personality Profile, access dynamic Collaboration Guides informed by each team member’s profile to kick your working relationship up a notch.
- Commit to growth: As managers chart the course for team development, it’s up to each of us to embrace the spirit of continuous learning and improvement that drives the most successful teams!
We believe that Develop will have a transformative impact on our business, and I can’t wait to see the amazing things we’ll achieve with this new tool – and Coach Bo’s tailored guidance – at our disposal!
Stay tuned for your invitation, and let’s get ready to embrace this exciting new chapter of our professional journey.
