HRCL can offer a reference checking service for your business as well as taking on other time consuming HR processes and relieving your team to conduct other HR tasks.

Completing references checks of prospective employees is time consuming and is often left until late in the recruitment process, if it’s done at all.  HRCL can take this pressure away from your HR team and complete this process for you.

Checking references is a great tool for deciding between equally qualified candidates, or for weeding out applicants who won’t be suited to your organisation’s culture. It can be very hard to tell what someone is like to work with on a day-to-day basis from a formal interview.

It’s also increasingly important to check reference as CVs can be incomplete or even contain misrepresentations. There are currently a lot of jobseekers on the market, and the extreme pressure of applying for a limited number of jobs can lead some candidates to knowingly exaggerate their credentials and experience in an effort to stand out above their competition.
