Conducting proper reference checks can be time consuming for hiring managers, but if corners are cut, steps are bypassed, and important questions aren’t asked you may not get to know the real candidate.
Reliable, Thorough, and Independent Reference Checking
Our reference interviews add depth to background screening reports by delivering verbatim reports of your candidate’s workplace performance, as described by their former supervisor or manager.
Our rigorously trained interviewers are experts at eliciting thorough responses from referees, adopting a conversational approach throughout the interview, and following up on responses with probing questions designed to retrieve the most accurate and detailed information.
Partner with Sterling to maximise the effectiveness of reference checks. We’ve never met your candidate and have no bias towards them. Our only focus is to provide you with high-quality, detailed information.
