WHY IS REFERENCE CHECKING SO IMPORTANT?
Checking your candidate's references is the only real means you have of verifying their skills and experience they represented in their resume and interview. It takes time and money to train new employees. By conducting reference checks on candidates you avoid finding out that the candidate has misrepresented themselves in order to obtain a position.
- Conducting reference checks provides you with a number of advantages:
- It ensures you make better and more informed hiring decisions.
- It demonstrates fairness and equality of each candidate in your recruitment process.
- Our reference checks are conducted with high integrity and are job-related, efficient and we focus on specifics to ensure accurate reporting.
- Reference Checking ensures employers identify and exclude applicants with a history of inappropriate workplace behavior.
