About
Criteria (formerly Revelian) is a comprehensive talent intelligence platform designed to modernize hiring and workforce development through science and AI. The platform offers a full suite of pre-employment assessments covering cognitive aptitude, personality, emotional intelligence, risk, job-specific skills, and game-based evaluations—all scientifically validated to predict future job performance rather than relying on resumes alone. Beyond assessments, Criteria includes structured video interviewing, live interview management, and AI-powered scoring through its Interview Intelligence feature, enabling hiring teams to minimize bias and evaluate candidates more consistently. An integrated AI proctoring system ensures assessment integrity at scale. For employee development, Criteria offers weekly manager check-ins, a 24/7 coaching tool (Coach Bo), TEAMscan team health diagnostics, and personality-driven insights—all designed to reduce burnout and improve engagement. The platform serves enterprises, mid-market companies, and small businesses, with over 4,000 customers reporting outcomes like 65% reduction in turnover, 50% improvement in time-to-hire, and 7x more revenue from sales hires. Criteria integrates with major HR systems and offers a free trial to get started.
