Our depth of detail will impress you! Our turnaround time will astound you!

Companies need to manage the risk of hiring now more than they have ever done before. Employers have a duty to hire with care and diligence. When hiring, the impact an individual will have on production, culture and corporate integrity is an integral factor. A reference based on actual results and demonstrated performance is an excellent practice in managing risk and determining future results.

Available to conduct an employment reference interview in China at 9 p.m. on Sunday OR in England at 6 a.m. on Monday, we are profoundly flexible and passionately professional. Interviewing is what we do and we do it well.

Employment Background Checking has been approached as an administrative task by most organizations. It is unfortunate that most Hiring decisions are made prior to checking a candidate's history. In fact, the majority of hiring decisions are made without actually performing a reference check at all. Possibly, the resistance and caution practiced by many firms has discouraged hiring managers from verifying past performance. Investigating historic career performance is also very time consuming and requires persistence, diligence and focus.

DUE DILIGENCE

A thorough and accurate background check on a candidate's performance could enhance their suitability for the role, or alert the hiring manager to coaching that may be required or, of greater concern; misrepresentation by that candidate.

Please Provide Three References

How candidates provide references may be a good indication of certain skills. Think of this: asking for references may be the first assignment you give to a potential employee. The references provided and the manner in which they are provided is important.

Here are some things to consider, as the candidate follows through on your request for references:

Did they choose references that make sense?
This is a demonstration of the candidate’s common sense and judgment.

Did they provide accurate information?
This is a demonstration of their attention to detail and respect for time management.

Are the references aware they will be called? Did the candidate ask for permission to use the reference?
This is a demonstration of their professional courtesy and team working skills.

Are they prompt?
This is a demonstration of their reliability.

The manner in which candidates handle their references is critical. The candidate should do whatever they can to make it easy for you to hire them. They should not be wasting your time with incorrect data or a referee who is not motivated or aware of providing a reference.

Your request is important. The candidate’s response should reflect that.
