Criteria Corp and SkoreCheck both help you look past the résumé, but they answer different questions. Criteria is a broad talent-assessment platform: scientifically validated cognitive aptitude, personality, emotional intelligence, risk and skills tests, video interviewing, and post-hire development tools. SkoreCheck is a focused screen that recruiters send per requisition: a proctored, role-specific test with a résumé rating folded in, resolved to one defensible verdict.
| SkoreCheck | Criteria Corp ↗ | |
|---|---|---|
| Who uses it | Recruiting teams screening IT and healthcare candidates | Employers of every size, with Enterprise, Mid-Market and Small Business solutions; 4,000+ organizations across 60 countries |
| What it does | Role-specific MCQ + proctored spoken video answers, with résumé scoring folded into one pipeline | Cognitive aptitude (including the CCAT), personality, emotional intelligence, risk, skills and game-based assessments; async and real-time video interviews; post-hire development tools |
| Proctoring | Advisory signals surfaced to a reviewer — tab-switch, paste, fullscreen exit, multiple faces, attention drift | Proctoring (non-AI) included with Criteria Assess; AI Proctoring is an upgrade that captures photos throughout, analyses them for extra faces or devices, samples screen and audio, and reports flags for your team to review |
| What the score means | One reconciled score plus hard verdict caps, resolving to Submit / Fix first / Reject with the reasons attached | Scores per assessment — on the CCAT, employers receive a raw score and a percentile; AI interview scoring is an add-on, shown side by side with human scores |
| What you hand a client | A single labelled verdict with its reasoning, plus a verifiable candidate credential | Score reports and interview evaluations in the Criteria platform, with scores also passed to supported ATSs |
| Pricing model | Credit-based (1 credit = $1): Starter $99/mo (250 credits), Growth $199/mo (500 credits), Scale $299/mo (800 credits); custom Enterprise; top-ups available | Three plans (Criteria Assess, Interview and Hire) plus AI upgrades and add-ons; prices are not published — packages are quoted on goals and headcount; 14-day free trial for employers |
| Platforms | Browser — one link to the candidate, no install | Mobile-friendly assessments in a wide range of languages; real-time interviews in the browser; standard ATS integrations, SSO and MFA |
