How Does the Reference Checking Process Work?

Modified on Thu, 6 Jun at 2:12 PM

If the organization you are applying to is using automated reference checking with Hiringplatform.com, you will likely go through the following typical process:

  1. You will receive an email with a link to start the reference-checking step.
  2. You will be asked to provide the contact information for two to three professional references.
  3. You may also need to answer questions about those references and previous related experiences.
  4. Your references will then be contacted to validate your work history. They may also be asked to elaborate on your skills and abilities for the role in question.
  5. The hiring organization’s recruitment team will review the references’ input and move you forward or out of the recruitment process. You should expect an email from them after this.
