A recent survey indicated that as many as 90% of job applicants offered close friends, relatives or irrelevant co-workers as references to their last employer. How objective were these carefully-chosen individuals in reporting the applicant's strengths and weaknesses?
Misrepresentation on a job application or resume happens, and any employer understands the consequences of hiring someone who is not qualified or professional. Financial losses to an employer making an uninformed hiring decision and going through a dismissal process can run into the $50,000 to $100,000 range in salary costs.
When you need to check references, a third party can save you time, effort and money in the long run.
Inline staff are not limited by the restrictions imposed on those making the hiring decision. We can evaluate the credibility of the source and clarify the relationship between the candidate and the reference.
Most employers, search firm associates and human resource personnel have already made a decision to hire a candidate before checking references. Reference checks are used as a confirming formality, rather than as an integral part of the selection process.
Third-party reference checking ensures an unbiased interview and quality documentation of the strengths and weaknesses of the candidate.
Reference checking is a time-consuming task that interferes with other important duties and responsibilities. Managers are reporting as much as one week of telephone-tag to connect with a single source.
Turn-around time for an average set of references is three working days. Inline Reference Check conducts interviews during office hours, evenings and weekends. We are in the business of checking references, and we are efficient.
Few managers, search personnel or human resource staff have the training or expertise to adequately interview candidates in a way that elicits useful or credible information.
The professionals at Inline have over twenty-two years experience in investigative interviewing, ensuring you in-depth and well-documented reference reports. Our interviewers come from public, private sector and finance, as well as other industries.
We offer a thorough interview, fully documented and delivered to your desk at a reasonable price. We save you time to make an efficient hiring decision.
