If you have a Criteria account, you can use our Criteria integration to send candidates a Criteria assessment from within Pinpoint, and see the resulting assessment outcome from right within the platform.

This guide is split into 2 parts:

Please note: You will need the Company Manager role assigned to you in Pinpoint to set up this integration

Step 1

In the settings area of Pinpoint, navigate to the Integrations page.

Step 2

Scroll down, or use the search bar to locate the Criteria integration item and press Add

Step 3

In the next page, add your Criteria API key and select the correct Data Centre for your Criteria account. If you're not sure which data centre you use, contact Criteria's support team, though the most likely option is the region in which the majority of your recruitment takes place. Once you have set these details, press the Save button.

Step 4

Once this has been saved, make sure the Disabled/Enabled toggle in the top right hand corner is set to Enabled. You will now be able to send candidates a Criteria assessment within Pinpoint.

Step 1

From within a candidate's profile, click on the more options button (3 small dots) and from the menu that appears. select Send Criteria Assessment.

Step 2

We'll pre-populate some of the fields from the data we hold on the candidate, but you'll need to select which assessment Package you wish to send the candidate. The list of packages will show the ones you have set up in your Criteria account, so if you need to add other ones, you'll need to log into Criteria to do so.

Once you've filled everything in and selected the correct package, press the Send Invite button.

Step 3

Once that's been sent, the candidate will be sent an email asking them to complete an assessment.

When they have finished, the results will be published in the Assessment tab on the candidate's profile view. When the assessment has been completed, you'll be able to see the overall score and whether all the score ranges were met, and click a link to view the complete report in Criteria's dashboard.

Step 4

You will be notified if a candidate you have visibility over's assessment has been completed and the results are ready for you to view, as long as you have the New Candidate Assessment Report Received notification enabled. It will be enabled for you by default, but you can enable or disable it from your personal settings menu, found by clicking your initials in the top right hand corner of the Pinpoint screen, selecting the Settings menu and then, the notifications tab.
