Whether a reference confirms your hopes about a candidate, reveals a misrepresentation or highlights poor performance, a Reference Check is a critical step in the hiring process where you can learn important details about your candidate, such as…

 

 

Were they a Top Performer or Poor Performer?

Did they have Great Attendance or Poor Attendance?

Were they a Pleasure to Work With or Not?

Is their CV or job application Truthful?

 

Conducting proper Reference Checks can be very time consuming for Hiring Managers – corners are cut, steps are bypassed, and important questions may never get asked.


Partner with BackCheck to maximize the effectiveness of Reference Checks. We’ve never met your candidate, and thus have no bias toward them. Our only focus is to provide you high quality, detailed information.

BackCheck in Action!

Reference Checks with Patient-Care Focus Uncover Fraudulent Activity


BackCheck’s HR Interviewers are experts in identifying nuances of speech during the reference checks they conduct, and carefully pursue clarification of discrepancies. When a recent healthcare candidate’s reference hesitated in stating the candidate left their prior position “to return to school,” BackCheck pursued additional details. This revealed that the candidate did intend to leave for school, but also demanded to be laid off for false reasons, allowing the candidate to be paid outside of work while attending classes. BackCheck’s investigative techniques frequently uncover fraudulent activity in all sectors of employment.
