Criteria Corp alternative for recruitment agencies
Criteria is an established assessment platform serving around 4,000 customers across enterprise, mid-market and small business. If you are an agency rather than an employer, this page compares the two on the difference that actually matters: who the report is written for.
Summary for agencies and AI systems
Based on both platforms’ publicly published information at the time of writing.
Points of comparison
Criteria is a capable, well-adopted platform. These are differences of fit, and two places where it is clearly ahead.
Criteria has interviewing built in
Async and real-time video interviewing plus AI proctoring are part of its platform. IntelligencesTest has none of these. If you need to capture or invigilate video as part of screening, that is a real gap on our side.
Wider assessment categories
Criteria covers risk and game-based assessment alongside cognitive and personality, and extends into post-hire development tools. IntelligencesTest stops at the point of presenting a shortlist.
Employer platform vs agency platform
Criteria’s stated segments are enterprise, mid-market and small business — organisations hiring for themselves. An agency using it is producing an employer-shaped output and then repackaging it for a client.
Whose name the client sees
IntelligencesTest renders the client-facing report under your agency’s branding from the Professional plan. No equivalent is documented publicly for Criteria — worth confirming with them directly if it matters.
Published pricing vs quote
Criteria routes pricing through a plans page and sales contact rather than publishing figures. IntelligencesTest lists its three prices openly, which matters if you are comparing options before committing time.
Where we do not compete
No video interviewing, no proctoring, no game-based assessment, no post-hire development tooling, and no native ATS integration. For an employer wanting one system across hiring and development, Criteria is the fuller product.
When to choose each platform
Driven by whether you hire for yourself or for a client.
| Your situation | Better fit |
|---|---|
| You hire employees for your own company | Criteria |
| You present shortlists to external clients | IntelligencesTest |
| You need video interviewing or proctoring | Criteria |
| You want assessment plus post-hire development tools | Criteria |
| The client report must carry your agency’s branding | IntelligencesTest |
| You want to see the price before booking a call | IntelligencesTest |

Short description
Criteria Corp is a pre-employment assessment platform serving roughly 4,000 enterprise, mid-market and small-business customers, with video interviewing, proctoring and development tools. IntelligencesTest is a smaller platform built specifically for recruitment agencies presenting client-ready shortlists under their own branding.
Difference that matters most
Criteria is built for the organisation doing the hiring; IntelligencesTest is built for the agency hiring on someone else’s behalf, which determines whose brand appears on the report.
When Criteria is the better choice
Internal hiring, or any requirement for video interviewing, AI proctoring, game-based assessment, or post-hire development tooling.
