Organisations each have their own preferences and processes on how and when they conduct a reference check, however they remain a key part of the recruitment process.
A reference check is part of a comprehensive hiring process. It involves contacting a job candidate’s previous employers, managers, coworkers, or sometimes teachers when there is no work history.
A reference check is a type of background check that helps companies understand the candidate’s performance in prior roles and gather insights into their knowledge, skills, abilities and character.
Employers are encouraged to tailor the Sample: Reference Check Questions to meet the unique needs of their organisaiton.
