JobFlare Releases in the UK, Australia, and Canada After Success in the U.S.

LOS ANGELES, CA - Hot off the heels of a successful launch in the U.S. back in Spring 2017, Criteria Corp, a leader in pre-employment testing, announced today that its iOS app, JobFlare, is now available in the UK, Australia and Canada. JobFlare is designed to change the way job hunting and talent discovery take place for job seekers and companies. By allowing users to play various brain games that are scientifically crafted to test key talents and cognitive abilities, JobFlare revolutionizes the way people get connected with jobs. JobFlare games focus on abilities that have been shown to predict long-term job performance, providing employers with insight into abilities that can't be discerned from a resume.

"We're excited to bring JobFlare to the UK, Canada and Australia," said Josh Millet, Founder & CEO of Criteria Corp. and JobFlare. "The job search process is broken, especially for early career job seekers who don't have much on their resumes. Job Seekers need new, more engaging ways to demonstrate their potential to employers, and JobFlare's games allow them to do just that."

Through a set of six 90-second games, JobFlare assesses key cognitive abilities and allows users to compare their scores to others seeking jobs in the same field. Users sign up, enter their basic job interests and location, and play games like "Robot Inspector" and "Mumble Jumble." Based on performance results and their user profile, job seekers are sent relevant job postings via email. Top scorers may be contacted individually with exclusive job opportunities. New features with this release include more targeted job alerts and graphs to help users track their progress.

The app is ideal for young adults looking for their first job, people looking to switch careers, or any talented individuals looking to get recognized for their abilities. For employers, JobFlare offers a talent-surfacing engine that helps forward-thinking companies discover candidates who may not have traditional backgrounds but have great potential to succeed. By focusing on traits that are scientifically proven to predict long-term success, JobFlare shines a spotlight on individuals that have the ability to grow into star performers.
