Reference Checks

Know what to expect from your new employees.

Reduce Hiring Risk

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

Were they really a top performer?
Did they have great attendance?
Is their CV or job application truthful?
Are their work history and listed skills accurate?

Conducting thorough reference checks can be time-consuming for hiring managers, but if important questions aren’t asked, you may not get a true picture of your candidate.

66% of hiring employers agreed that candidates exaggerate their resume¹
