GAME-BASED ASSESSMENTS
The Next Generation of Candidate Assessment
A winning combination of game-design thinking and science-based psychometrics to take your candidate experience to the next level.
Revolutionise candidate assessment with gameplay
By merging game-design thinking with trusted and proven psychometric principles, Criteria’s games assessment provide deep insight to inform better hiring decisions alongside a rich, immersive experience for your candidates. Instead of having candidates complete a test that feels like a test, they get to play a series of games. Our unique custom-developed game analytics engine examines each candidate’s data and gives you accurate results.
And candidates love it: survey results from our validation and trial period showed that not only do test takers enjoy taking game-based assessments, but they also perceive them to be more fair and a better measure of their abilities.

Start the candidate journey with a positive experience
Gain deep, trusted insight to inform better hiring decisions while enhancing your employer brand and candidate UX. It’s the ‘age of the employee’, where candidates share their experiences – especially negative ones – online to a public audience.
Employers are realising the importance of a positive experience across all stages of the candidate and employee journey. When you use game-based assessments like Cognify, Emotify, or GAME as part of your recruitment process, you’re identifying the best candidates quickly, accurately and enjoyably. You’re also telling your prospective employees that you’re an innovative employer, and that you care about the experience your candidates go through to become part of your team.
“Easy to use, challenging, and applicable. Makes you think about how the game applies to your skill set and those required by the employer.”
Results you can trust
Data from game-based assessments is collected and analysed using the same psychometric tools and principles you trust, so you can be confident that you’re getting the same robust results you expect from a traditional psychometric assessment – and more.
We collect thousands of data points for each candidate, so you’ll get a much more accurate image of their abilities than you would with a simple questionnaire with right and wrong answers. We capture and measure different responses to play and infer how individuals may apply these approaches to other contexts.
Criteria’s game-based assessments are robust against “faking” and response distortion, and they are suitable for a wide range of roles and industries. Your candidates become so immersed in the games they can forget they’re completing an assessment, which means they’re less stressed – so you get more authentic data about their performance.
