Time is of the essence when recruiting top talent for your company. Recruitment is an increasingly competitive market and delays even by a few days can mean missing out on the best candidate. On average, it can take up to 3 working days for a recruiter to check a candidate’s references, stalling the hiring process.
Verifying someone’s employment history means getting in contact with people they have previously worked for. Traditionally, speaking to the right person took a lot of time and effort, particularly if you didn’t have a direct phone number or email for the referee. It was all too common for recruiters to be passed around from person to person before they could speak to the appropriate manager to collect the reference, and even then it might not be possible.
