Reference checks - get a second opinion on your candidate

A reference check provides key insights into a candidate’s personality, working style, and growth areas. They help employers define, understand and manage potential hiring risks. But chasing referees can be a time-consuming job. What is an essential part of vetting an individual, can often be overlooked in order to progress the hiring process. Veremark can save you time and effort by contacting past managers for insights into how candidates perform at work, and for confirmation of skills and professional achievements.

Our reference checks include:

• Strengths and weaknesses
• Professional development areas
• Personality and characteristics, as well as how best to manage and empower them
• Key learning areas
• Contribution to previous employers and their teams.
