Reference checking can eliminate undesirable applicants, identify the best candidate, reduce turnover and training costs, and even prevent liability for negligent hiring.
However, it is only one of the many necessary elements to making a good hiring decision. You also should check all information on a candidate’s resume or application, such as educational history, and consider performing other types of background checks if the nature of the job warrants these checks.
In addition, skills testing and personality profiling may provide further information on the candidate’s suitability for the job. All of these steps help you make effective hiring decisions and avoid errors that lead to legal claims.
We have designed this simple form to assist with the reference check process.
