It is a demanding task for a firm to spend time interviewing references, confirming education, reviewing credit reports, and conducting criminal and background screening. We provide you with a comprehensive and detailed report that includes all five elements.

Our reference checking services are completely objective and impartial. The interviewer does not have any preconceived impressions of the candidate and will develop a clear profile of how the referee perceives the individual you will potentially hire.

By using the services of our firm, you will establish a consistent process for screening employees for your recording keeping purposes. This consistency also guarantees that this essential part of the process is not forgotten or bypassed as a result of time constraints.

Our process and our highly-trained consultants provide you with a detailed report that consists of an exhaustive interview that will illustrate the strengths of the individual and areas of further development of the potential employee.

We not only record statements and feedback by the referee but we also ask them to provide specific examples of a time in which the employee performed those tasks, skill etc. in the workplace. Further to checking the given references we also have the candidate sign a consent letting them know that we will be asking the referee to give names of other individuals who could provide additional information with regards to their background and capabilities as it pertains to their employment history.

Using the services of a third party reference checking service ensures that a high standard of due diligence is achieved, subsequently reducing the risk of wrongful hiring or discrimination litigation.
