At On Demand HR, we understand the challenges of conducting reference checks as part of the recruitment process. From struggling to contact referees (who may be overseas or busy senior managers) to the time delays caused by traditional phone-based checks, these hurdles can slow down your hiring and risk losing top candidates to competing offers.

To solve this, we’ve developed an Online Reference Check service, designed to make reference checks faster, simpler, and more effective.

How It Works:

1. Submit a Request – Complete the form at the bottom of this page to initiate the process.
2. Automatic Outreach – The referee will receive an email with a unique link to complete the reference check. At the same time, you’ll receive the same link to follow up with the referee by email or SMS if needed.
3. Receive Instant Results – Once the referee completes the reference check, a detailed report is automatically emailed to you for review.

What’s Covered in the Reference Check:

Our online reference check asks a series of structured questions, primarily using star ratings, to ensure efficiency. Referees are only asked for additional comments if their rating falls below seven stars. The questions cover essential areas, including:

• Confirmation of employment details (relationship, dates, key responsibilities).
• Ratings on effectiveness, pressure-handling, attention to detail, meeting deadlines, attendance, honesty, integrity, and communication skills.
• Insights into key strengths, achievements, areas for improvement, and training needs.
• Reason for leaving (if known) and whether they would reemploy the candidate (with reasons if the answer is no).
• General comments or additional information the referee wishes to share.

Key Benefits:

• Speed up recruitment – Reduce delays and improve your chances of securing top talent.
• Ease of use – Referees can quickly and conveniently complete the form online, wherever they are.
• Comprehensive insights – Gain detailed, structured feedback to make informed hiring decisions.
• Included in your membership – Enjoy unlimited use of the service, whether or not you’re using On Demand HR for recruitment campaigns.
