"[Criterion is] going to allow us to streamline so many things and save us so much time. I feel like it's just an ideal partnership with Goodwill."


We’ve really found an awesome partner — in how we view things and see things and push the envelope and continuously improve things — in Criterion.”


I would recommend Criterion to other companies in our industry because their customer service is easy to talk to, very responsive, and super helpful — which I think is the biggest part of any company that you do your payroll or HR through. Customer service is the biggest thing.”


"Zoey, Lindsey and I vetted several payroll companies last year, and with what we found in our investigations, especially with prevailing wage and other complexities that we have with our payroll --- we're very happy to be with Criterion."


I think their whole implementation process is really good. It’s really well managed. We had a chance to compare it to some others … and Criterion is definitely the best.”


“From a construction industry perspective, there’s always so much customizable work that’s required…. And Criterion can do a lot of different things — but the biggest thing is to feel like you’re working with people on it as you go through, and they accommodate the needs.”


“For the level of service, the ease of use, and just the interface that we deal with on a daily basis — it's definitely worthwhile.”
