WHY IT'S BETTER

Deeper Hiring Insight with Verified References

Reference checks provide context that resumes and interviews alone cannot, including performance, work ethic, and culture fit. Our structured process standardizes reference feedback so hiring teams get clear, actionable insights.

Structured, Consistent Reference Outreach

We contact prior employers, supervisors, or professional contacts using a uniform questionnaire across phone or email. This consistency reduces bias and ensures every candidate is evaluated against the same criteria.

Automated & Manual Hybrid Workflow for Reliable Results

We combine automated outreach and tracking with manual follow-up and verification. This hybrid approach increases response rate, ensures accuracy, and reduces the burden on your recruiting team.
