Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Essential criteria are the characteristics that a job candidate must possess in order to perform the job adequately. This includes qualifications, skills, and experience that are necessary for the job, and are not trainable. Tangential or desirable criteria may enhance a candidate's qualifications, but are not critical for job performance. Trainable criteria are skills that can be learned on the job, and are not necessary for a candidate to possess before being hired.
