Criteria Reviews

The software provides access to several tests that provide an insight into a candidates personality, thoughts, and knowledge. HireSelect also is a convenient way to sort and store a large amount of data as it relates to potential candidates.

As the software recently went through an overhaul, I have not had enough time to dedicate to learning all the new features included in the update. The core of the program is still the same just the formatting and organizing have been modified. So far the new features I have used are better than the old program.

The software is extremely user friendly. When I need to figure out how to do something new it takes not time at all but possibly their customer service even tops this. The easy scheduling system they have to reach out for someone to help is amazing and put the options in your hands.

Being a SAAS there were some hurdles to jump through with our purchasing department but more likely that is on our outdated requirements. The latest update was significant and hope to see more feature in the near future.

When hiring for different positions, you need applicants with varying skills. HireSelect provides a way to test applicants on their aptitude for whatever job you need to fill. By using these services, you can be far more productive in selecting applicants to interview based on their knowledge, aptitude, and fit for your organization. HireSelect is a time saver on steroids!

There is nothing to not like and profit from by using HireSelect! If you hit a snag, their support services are among the best I've encountered with any vendor.

The variety of assessments help me choose the best fit for each position. I can evaluate a number of different levels, aptitude, personality, or specific skills.

If I wanted to integate the results with my ATS, I would need to upgrade to a fancier package. Now, the price is cheap for the service, but I don't know why I would have to upgrade just for an integration.

I like all of the additional information given outside of the numerical scores the most. It allows me to make the most informed choice rather than simply going off the summary score.

I do not enjoy the integration with Jazz HR that much. I automate a lot of the routine steps so that I can spend the most time on the phone or communicating with the candidate. Since I automate the use of Hire Select Assessments, it only sends out the link, and therefore, does not automatically attach finished assessments to my candidates' profiles. I have to prioritize manually uploading my candidates' results via email.

I love that I can search for a job title and it recommends test banks to use, which saves us time. It is intuitive to use, especially nice for hiring managers that aren't in it all the time.

We are investigating the use of it in our UK and Australia offices. Hopefully HireSelect can support our global team.

The customer support for HireSelect is excellent. I can always count on my account representative to handle everything we need in a timely and professional manner.

The new layout takes a little time to get used to but has improved significantly over time.

The software is easy to use and has a wide range of reports that can assist when making hiring decisions. I have also used it with current employees when working to assess a team and especially with the new format for the Employee Personality Profile, it provides an easy way to give feedback and insight to the team members.

There are a couple of tests that are not my favorites to use, especially when using them with current employees but that is not a huge issue.

Allows you to make better hiring decisions with minimum work from the staff

This is really great, I cannot think about anything I do not like about this system

I am a huge fan of HireSelect's assessment. It is rock solid and they are outstanding.

Really no downsides. It's reasonably priced for the value.

The available assessments provide critical insight into candidates' mental abilities, personality and technical skills.

I would like to see some additional options on job/personality matches.

It helps you weed out the top candidates from the no so good ones.

That does not have a our industry job position in the general database, I had to cross reference from other positions.

The analytics tools and the reports are state-of-the-art. It leverages the hiring process and help managers to find the right talents, with great reports based on right assessments.

There are templates to design the right list of assessments for a job opportunity, which can be improved with more options of jobs.

The HireSelect software allows an easy way to compare candidates to a standard as well as to each other.

I have not experienced any negative aspects of HireSelect by Criteria Corp.

The most useful feature for my organization is being able to track applicants through the hiring process and customize the pipelines to meet our specific needs.

No complaints really. It does what we need.

They have great customer service from start to finish. There was always a clear representative throughout sales and I was passed on to an account manager who handled our training and any question we had. It makes things easy. I also love how the sales rep and then account manager always have contact information on the site so you can always reach out easily with questions. They are always helpful when you reach out.

We are a healthcare company and some of the assessments are not as specific to out positions, but there is the capability to add your own assessments. The account manager did try to help us find assessments that fit our needs.

The software is very user friendly and easy to manage as an administrator.

Not easily integrated or have the ability to customized some features.

Simplistic and ask many questions rather than just a few.

I do not like how on the EPP test in the results it says no position selected. It would be nice to see maybe how long it was taking an applicant to answer question or do the entire test to see if they are just not reading and putting zero thought into their answers or if they are diligently reading and putting thought into each question asked. I think this would help decide if an employee is rushing or is able to take their time, care and answer to the best of their ability. Right now I feel this test is a bit of a waste and does really absolutely nothing for me when there just isn't something more for me to base my decision on a stranger.

We use 3 of the testing modules for every applicant (specific positions) that we gain interest in, after our initial screenings. The results are easy to review and digest, which gives us an added tool to help in our selection process.

Honestly, I have zero complaints or suggestions here.

Using the testing online has helped us to narrow the selection pool of candidates and saved us valuable time that would have been wasted on interviewing less qualified candidates.

The new upgrades are more complex in my opinion and have more than I need, so makes the site seem more tedious to navigate. The old site was easy and straight forward.

HireSelect offers several assessments to measure cognitive abilities and personality traits.

I love HireSelect, I have absolutely no negative feedback.

The ease of connecting the application to the tests and being able to track applicants within the system.

I really enjoy using the software. The new setup is a little different but not bad.

I like that I can customize test results analysis based on predetermined baselines. I also like the comparison tools available for looking at multiple candidates.

The new format is not as user-friendly. It's not easy to find things.

The ease of use and the support team. Everyone has been wonderful.

Wish there were more skill based tests (Excel)

Helps to streamline hiring skill set and mark strengths and weaknesses

Little difficult to interpret at times.
