The Importance of Professional Reference Checks
Professional reference checks offer deeper insights into a candidate’s job-related traits and skills from people who know them. This added perspective supports more informed hiring decisions and a more dependable workforce.
Enhanced Experiences
How Our Reference Checks Work
Step 1
The candidate enters their reference details in our secure, intuitive, and mobile-first candidate experience.
Step 2
We reach out to the contact according to your reference workflow to get the insights you need to make an informed hiring decision. Where possible, we email a link so the contact can respond at their earliest convenience.
Step 3
If your questionnaire is set up as option-based, the status can be automatically applied based on your rules, helping to secure accelerated results. Typed responses are reviewed to identify and remove potentially sensitive information such as protected class details.
Step 4
The finalized reference check responses are provided on the screening report for your use in the hiring decision.
