⚙ Step 1: Connection Setup

Requirements: You must be a Kula Admin and have an active CriteriaCorp account with pre-configured assessment packages.

  1. Navigate to Settings > Integrations > Assessments.

  2. Locate CriteriaCorp and click Enable Integration.

  3. Enter your CriteriaCorp API Key.

  4. Once the status shows as Active/Connected, you are ready to go! If it fails, simply click Reauthorize to retry.

Note: API key must be requested from your dedicated Criteria Account Manager.

🛠 Step 2 - Using Criteria Corp in Kula

     Option 1: The Interview Plan

Best for high-volume roles where every candidate must hit the same technical bar.

  1. Edit Plan: Navigate to the Settings → Interview Plan → select the specific plan where you want to include the assessment.

  2. Add Activity: Under your desired hiring stage (e.g., "Technical Screen"), click Add Activity.

  3. Select Type: Choose Criteria Corp assessment as the activity type.

  4. Create Assessment: Select the Reviewers, Assessment for this job and the scorecard template/questions for the interviewers to fill the feedback → Click “Add Assessment”

  1. Send Assessment: When a candidate is moved to this stage, the CriteriaCorp activity is automatically created. Recruiters can click Send Assessment to proceed. Before sending, they can review and update the reviewers, assessment, and scorecard if needed, and then send the assessment.

Option 2: Ad-Hoc Assessment (The "Fast-Track")

Ideal for "one-off" tests or when you want to evaluate a candidate outside of the standard process.

  1. Open Profile: Navigate to the Jobs > Candidates > select the Candidate Application page.

  2. Access Menu: Click the "three dots” dropdown menu in the top right.

  3. Trigger Test: Select "Send Criteria Assessment" from the dropdown.

  4. Auto-Placement: The assessment modal will open immediately, and Select the reviewers, Assessment from a dropdown of assessments synced directly from your CriteriaCorp account and the scorecard.

  5. Once sent, the activity will be logged under the candidate's Adhoc Activities section.

📊 Step 3 - Monitoring Results and view Report

Kula updates the candidate timeline automatically with these statuses:

  • Pending submission: Invite sent.

  • Submitted: Test completed by the candidate.

  • To view Report: 

    • Click View Scorecard → View full assessment and report to see the complete report.

    • Navigate to Files → Additionally, you can view the report in PDF form under the Files section of the application.

Note: Once an assessment is sent it cannot be changed. To send a different assessment, cancel this one and send again.
