Evaluation criteria are the specific things that matter for your role — the skills, experience, and qualifications you’d weigh up yourself when reviewing a candidate. You write them in plain language, and Clarvo evaluates every candidate against them.

​
Adding criteria

Before your results appear, Clarvo asks you to Add Your Evaluation Criteria. Add each requirement as a short, plain-language statement — for example “Has led a team” or “Experience scaling a B2B SaaS product.”
1

Write what matters

Add criteria for the skills, experience levels, and qualifications that count most for this role.
2

Order by priority

Drag criteria to rank them — the ones at the top carry the most weight.
3

Confirm to continue

Results are shown once you’ve confirmed your criteria, so the candidates you see are already considered against them.

​
What it does

Clarvo assesses each candidate against every criterion you set, and shows the outcome on the candidate’s Evaluation tab — criterion by criterion — so you can see why someone is a fit, not just that they are. See Tracking candidates.

​
How it affects your results

Criteria don’t work like hard filters — they don’t remove anyone. Instead they shape which candidates surface and in what order:

Surfacing

Candidates who best match your criteria rise to the top of the list, so the most relevant people are the first you see.

Signal, not a cut-off

Each criterion acts as a signal that steers the search toward the qualities you care about — a candidate who misses one still appears, just lower down.
Because criteria are ranked, the higher-priority ones influence surfacing more than the lower ones — so leading with what truly matters has the biggest effect on your results.
Keep each criterion focused on a single idea and phrase it the way you’d describe an ideal candidate. Specific, well-ordered criteria surface better-matched people.
