What Criteria Corp is genuinely good at
- A serious psychometric pedigree, including well-known cognitive aptitude testing
- A broad catalogue spanning cognitive, personality and skills instruments
- Long validation history and documentation, which matters in regulated hiring
- Established support and guidance on defensible test use
Where Hirovia takes a different approach
| Blended score, not separate instruments | Rather than several tests to interpret side by side, Hirovia blends behavior, judgment, résumé and written evidence into one comparable number per candidate. |
|---|---|
| Pay per completed assessment | No annual commitment. If you do not hire this quarter, you do not pay this quarter. |
| Written-answer analysis built for the AI era | Free-text answers are scored specifically for the generic, evidence-free register that generated text produces. |
| Set up without a conversation | No implementation project, no minimum term. |

Know the person who took the test is the person you'll interview.
AI can write the résumé. A friend can sit the assessment. With identity verification switched on, every applicant photographs a government ID and takes a live selfie before the first question — so the score is bound to a real, verified human, and the name on the ID is checked against the name on the application.
The check runs at the very start, so nobody can answer first and verify later. No verified ID, no assessment.
Stripe Identity reads the document, checks its security features, confirms the selfie is a live person and matches it to the ID photo. Works with passports, driver's licences and national IDs from 100+ countries.
The report shows verified / not verified and whether the name on the ID matched the application. Hirovia never stores ID images, document numbers or dates of birth — nothing sensitive lands in your account.
Billed once per candidate on their first verification attempt, whatever the outcome; a candidate who fails gets one retry at no extra charge. Candidates are never charged. Verification is a fraud-prevention signal for your process, not a background check or a consumer report.
