Company Preferences

Updated by Amy Thomas

All Criteria users can set their defaults for notifications, viewing sample data and the blind hiring option in User Preferences.

To set the default preferences for your organization, click the avatar in the top right and select Company Preferences. Admin level users and those with a custom access that includes Company Preferences may make changes to the default settings for your Criteria account.

Please note:
✳️ The settings on this screen affect users, jobs and candidates for your whole account.
✳️ Some items can be overridden at the job level if required. This will be indicated below, where relevant.

Event Preferences

Event Restrictions

When toggled on, candidates will be prevented from completing assessments or video interviews again within a set number of months. You may also choose to only restrict candidates from completing testing events more than once for each job.

Event Restrictions enabled
Demographic Data Option

When switched on, candidates will be presented with a set of demographic questions. Answering the questions is optional.

If you have this enabled and wish to view your demographic data please contact your Customer Success Manager to discuss this.

Demographic Data questions
No PII (Personally Identifiable Information)

When enabled, your Criteria account will not collect the names or email addresses of candidates.

A great use for this feature is to collect anonymous responses from your team via a survey.

No PII
Set Default Event Expiration

If you wish to limit the time your canddiates have to complete the evaluation task, we reccomend setting a default expiration date for your account. This can be for up to 14 days.

You can override your account’s default setting at the job level and when sending out invitations to individual candidates.

Talent Signal

Enable this feature to view a single score for each candidate’s results, based on a weighted average of the assessments and structured interviews completed.

Reuse Assessment Results

You can automatically reuse (copy) results for your candidates if they have completed the test for you recently.

Video Interview results cannot be reused; candidates will need to sit each video interview they are invited to complete.

Reuse Assessment Results
Proctoring

To further enhance test security for remote testing, you can create a proctored job that takes periodic snapshots of your candidates as they complete their assessments.

Once enabled for your organization*, this is turned on by default. Proctoring will automatically apply to all new jobs created.  This can be turned on or off at the organization level (here in Company Preferences), at the job level or at the candidate level

*Contact your Criteria Account Manager to discuss enabling this for your organization.
