CANDIDATE INTEGRITY

How we protect the signal that matters most

Hiring decisions are only as good as the signal you get from candidates. When a candidate misrepresents their skills, uses AI in an interview, or has someone else take their assessment, that signal can't be trusted. Criteria protects against that with market-leading deterrence and detection methods built right into the platform.

Candidate integrity is a product priority.

We don’t wait for problems to surface. Our I/O psychology team and technology team continuously research measures to protect candidate integrity and monitor the threat landscape.


A MULTI-LAYERED APPROACH

Anti-cheating measures across the entire hiring process

No single solution eliminates cheating on its own. Our approach is to embed anti-fraud measures into every layer of the hiring process.
 

01. EXPECTATIONS

Expectation setting and deterrence

Setting clear expectations with candidates from the start is the first and most direct line of defense. Customizable candidate communications help employers explain their expectations around outside resources and AI tools, while giving candidates the assurance that the process is fair and thoughtful.

02. ASSESSMENTS

Built-in assessment protections

Our assessments are designed and delivered with security built in at every level. Protections span the testing experience, response patterns, and test content. Organizations can also use supervised on-site testing to verify remote assessment results at a later stage.

03. INTERVIEWS

Structured interviewing customization

The interview stage is an equally important opportunity to verify candidate authenticity and surface genuine capability. Criteria’s Predictive Interviewing suite supports thoughtful question design and structured evaluation to elicit detailed, authentic responses that are hard to fake.

04. PROCTORING

Proctoring

For organizations that need the highest level of assurance, Criteria’s Proctoring solution adds a layer of automated, AI-powered monitoring on top of other protections. Reports bring evidence and risk indicators into one view so reviewers can act quickly and confidently. Candidates are informed before an assessment about how and why they will be monitored.
