New SkillSurvey Partnership
We know how time consuming reference checks can be, and they are often a skipped-over step in your hiring process. Well, we’re excited to announce our brand new automated, managed reference checks, through our partner SkillSurvey. This automated process saves over 90% of the time YOU spend doing reference checks the traditional way.
Here’s the basics on how it works:
- Select your applicant and click on Request Reference Check from the Select Action menu.
- We will email the applicant asking them to provide several references.
- Once completed by the applicant, an automated email will be sent out to those references containing a confidential, job-specific survey. 85% of references generally respond.
- Typically within 2 days you will receive reference feedback to review on your potential candidate. It’s that easy!
The Benefits of Reference Checks
Reference checks not only protect you from negligent hiring claims and verify that the information a candidate has told you is true, but have many other benefits.
- Reference checks can give you a better sense of how the candidate interacts with coworkers as part of a team.
- They can give you additional insights on a candidate's skills, performance, and talents, as well as some surprising insights into what your candidate can really excel at.
- There's often a discrepancy between the way we view ourselves and the ways others view us, and that's not a bad thing—a reference check could provide additional ways this candidate could benefit your organization that they may not have thought of themselves.
