Add Reference Check

With Discovered, you can set up a customized questionnaire to send to a candidate's professional references. This can be done by accessing the "Add reference check" card in the Find & Evaluate Talent tab of your job posting.

Key Steps:

  1. Go to the Find and Evaluate Talent tab on your job posting.
  2. Scroll down to the Evaluate Candidates section and click on the Add reference check card.
  3. Set up the questions for the reference questionnaire by clicking into the card.
  4. Use the default questionnaire provided or customize it by adding, removing, or editing questions.
  5. Specify the type of response required for each question (brief response, long response, yes or no, rating on a scale, or date).
  6. Use tokens like "candidate's first name" to personalize questions for each candidate.
  7. Choose the types of references you want to collect from candidates (e.g., direct supervisor, peer, etc.).
  8. Save the questionnaire setup as a new template if desired.

Cautionary Notes:

  • Ensure that the questions in the reference questionnaire are relevant and provide valuable insights about the candidate.
  • Avoid using questions that may lead to biased or discriminatory responses.
  • Double-check the questionnaire setup before sending it to candidates to avoid errors in the reference check process.

Tips for Efficiency:

  • Utilize the default questionnaire provided as a starting point for setting up reference questionnaires.
  • Personalize questions using tokens to make them more specific to each candidate.
  • Save customized questionnaires as templates for future use to save time on setup for similar job postings.
