Science-backed pre-employment assessments for data-driven hiring and talent retention.
HireSelect, developed by Criteria Corp, is a premier SaaS platform for pre-employment testing, providing recruiters and hiring managers with a standardized, science-based approach to candidate evaluation. In the 2026 market, HireSelect has transitioned into a fully integrated talent success platform that combines psychometric testing with AI-driven video interviewing and emotional intelligence evaluation. Its architecture is built on validated psychological research, utilizing large-scale datasets to minimize hiring bias and maximize predictive validity. The platform specializes in three core assessment areas: cognitive aptitude, personality traits, and specific job skills. Technically, the platform leverages a sophisticated scoring engine that benchmarks candidates against over 1,100 job-specific profiles. For 2026, HireSelect has introduced enhanced AI-proctoring and deep-learning models to analyze candidate video responses for non-verbal cues and soft-skill proficiency. It remains a leader in the mid-market and enterprise space due to its 'unlimited testing' subscription model, which incentivizes data-rich hiring processes without the friction of per-test costs. Its enterprise readiness is underscored by seamless API connectivity into every major Applicant Tracking System (ATS), ensuring that assessment data is a core component of the recruitment lifecycle.
