Checking References

Reference checks are an integral part of the hiring process. They provide a clear testimonial to support your hiring decision. The purpose of reference checking goes beyond just confirming the facts presented during the interview or on a resume. Your ability to evoke a response from past employers, friends and peers will give you a more in-depth profile of the candidate.

Asking the right questions dramatically increases the pertinent information you receive from references and ultimately determines the quality of their answers.
