Why Check References?

  • Past performance is one of the strongest predictors of future performance.
  • An investment in reference checking can reduce costs and increase productivity, by helping to ensure successful hires.
  • Reference checks can help you determine which candidate will be the best fit for the position.
  • Managers can minimize the risk of hiring an employee who won't be able to succeed in the new job if they take the time to try to find out about previous job performance.
  • Managers will also gain greater insights into the candidate's skills, knowledge and abilities from someone who has actually observed the candidate perform.
  • Checking references before making an offer can actually save time, money, effort, and a lot of embarrassment. Employment experts estimate that 30 percent of all resumes contain false or exaggerated information.

"Hiring the wrong person can be a costly mistake… Good reference checking has become a necessity in today's world of rapidly changing standards and expectations."

"Overall, checking references properly is well worth the time and effort. Placing the right people in the right jobs should be a goal of any well-run employment function. The long-term success of the organization may depend on how well this is carried out."
