Get the Job You Want

Our service will provide an accurate way to confirm that your job references will enhance your chances, rather than stand in your way of securing the position you desire.

We provide written, comprehensive employment reviews of professionals and executives, with three levels of service, dependent upon the level of candidate and amount of information being researched: Professional, Executive and Teacher.

The Reference Checking Service Interview

An experienced member of our staff conducts all of our job reference checking service/ employment verification interviews via phone, unless required to be done in writing by the client or reference. All professional reference checking report levels will include the following, depending on corporate policy*:

  • Employment verification and verification of dates of employment
  • Employment Verification of position title held
  • Eligibility status for rehire
  • Reason for separation
  • Recommendation for another position / role

The Professional Level Job Reference Checking Service Interview

In addition to all of the above employment verification questions, the Professional and Executive Level professional reference checking interviews include a discussion of the employee's strengths and weaknesses, and a fifteen point numerically-based Performance Evaluation. Professional reference checking research topics include:

  • Leadership
  • Oral Communication
  • Written Communication
  • Long-Term Planning
  • Short-Term Planning
  • Managerial Skills
  • Decision Making
  • Productivity
  • Employee Relations
  • Budget Administration
  • Technical Skills
  • Integrity
  • Crisis Management
  • Interpersonal Relations
  • Overall Performance

The Executive Level Job Reference Checking Service Interview

In addition to all of the above questions and performance evaluation, the Executive Level job reference checking service includes two (2) additional questions:

*Exceptions:

1. There are some companies that prohibit the release of information other than the employment verification of title and dates of employment. Our professional reference checking staff always applies pressure to every job reference that is checked, in an attempt to gain as much information as is possible. Even when a company follows a strict policy to only confirm dates and title of employment verification, other questions, especially the reason for separation and overall recommendation are always asked. Our job reference checking service fee is still applicable as our professional reference checking research offers the knowledge of precisely what the company will divulge to a prospective employer. In addition, each professional reference checking report will address the manner in which this information was provided, including the tone in the reference's voice and timeliness of the contact (e.g. Did the reference return our calls or did we leave repeated messages that were never returned?).

2. A second job reference checking service exception exists when a job reference is being evasive. There are some job references that will not return our telephone calls and despite our staff's attempts, we are unable to pass a strong secretary or voice mail system. Our professional reference checking team always calls and/or leaves a minimum of four messages detailing the reason for our call. Should the job reference not return the call from our job reference checking service, we feel that they are saying they do not care to provide job reference information on that candidate. Of course, should we discover that a job reference is traveling, ill, on vacation, or for some reason not available, we will notify our job reference checking service client of this and make further attempts as soon as the job reference is once again available. Candidates need to look at this professional reference checking research from the perspective of a potential employer. It is unlikely that a prospective employer will attempt to reach a job reference more than two or three times. Therefore, the information our job reference checking service obtains, or the lack of a response, is still crucial information that a candidate needs to take into account when making a transition.
