Reference Checks

A reference check confirms your hopes about a possible employee, reveals a misrepresentation, or highlights poor performance in a previous position. It is a critical step in the hiring process where you can learn important details about your applicant, such as:

  • Are their work history and listed skills accurate?
  • Were they really a top performer?
  • Did they have great attendance?
