Reference checks

If you want to initiate a reference check for a candidate at a specific phase in your hiring process, you can use the Reference check automation on status associated with that phase.

Key Steps:

  1. Go to the job posting and navigate to the Processing tab.
  2. Click on the desired status where you want to add the reference check.
  3. Scroll down to find the automation section and click on the "Add reference check" option.
  4. Review the default reference questionnaire set up. Edit questions or use templates as needed.
  5. Consider adding a message to prompt candidates to add their references. Use the references link token in the message.
  6. Assign the reference check status to the candidate by selecting the status for the candidate.
  7. Verify that the reference check has been successfully assigned by checking the reference check section in the candidate's profile.

Cautionary Notes:

  • Ensure that the reference questionnaire is set up correctly to gather relevant information.
  • Double-check the message content if included to ensure clear communication with candidates.
  • Verify the status assignment to candidates to avoid any discrepancies.

Tips for Efficiency:

  • Utilize existing templates for reference questionnaires to save time.
  • Regularly update and refine the reference check process based on feedback and improvements.
  • Communicate clearly with candidates regarding the reference check process to streamline the workflow.
