Reference Check
Hire Smart with Verified Insights
Where resumes and interviews are concerned, making the ideal hiring choice is only part of the story. To truly know a candidate’s work ethic, attitude, dependability, and cultural alignment, organizations are going to have to dig deeper than surface-level assessments. That’s where a professional reference check is invaluable.
At Global Checks, we help businesses like yours to make smarter, risk-free hiring decisions through our comprehensive and technology-enabled reference checking services. From validating claims to assessing behavioral compatibility, our process empowers you to hire not just qualified talent but trustworthy and dependable professionals.
Why You Need a Professional Reference Check
The professional reference check involves contacting a candidate’s previous employers, supervisors, or colleagues to seek information about their performance at work, attitude, and general conduct in the workplace. It’s one of the most reliable ways of confirming a candidate’s profile’s genuineness.
Primary Reasons for Carrying Out Reference Checks:
- Authenticate Employment History: Verify job title, employment dates, and job duties.
- Evaluate Performance: Know how effectively the candidate has performed in past positions.
- Red Flags Identification: Identify problems such as misconduct, chronic absenteeism, or ineffective teamwork.
- Cultural Fit Guarantee: Learn about personality, communication, and flexibility.
- Minimize Hiring Risks: Prevent expensive hiring errors and employee turnover.
Where Does a Professional Reference Check Fit In?
While resume screening and interviews are key parts of recruitment, a reference checker adds value during:
- Final hiring decision
- Role change or promotion
- Internal mobility assessments
- Vendor and freelance onboarding
- Executive hiring
