Professional References

Despite collecting a candidate’s resume, conducting phone and in-person interviews, and more, you may still feel as though there’s information you’re missing. This is where professional references can help! A professional reference ensures that your organization can learn more about the employment candidate’s integrity beyond their resume. At Employers Reference Source, we believe that professional references are a significant part of the job screening process, and we can help you get them done.

Our team contacts former employers and supervisors, colleagues, co-workers and job-site friends to identify a candidate’s work history and responsibilities not gathered from the employment verification. These interviews also help provide the ability to evaluate each candidate’s:

No matter what industry you are in, your goal when hiring is likely to find a candidate with a good work ethic who is communicative and can work well with your current team. However, it can be tough to ensure that you meet this goal without the right information. Professional references can help to fill in the gaps and give you the knowledge you need to make the right choice. In a few months you will not need to be hiring a new employee in the same position you are right now. After all, better-fitting candidates means a lower employee turnover rate.
