E-Reference Solution Overview

Each year 49% of US job applicants falsify their prior work experience on their job application or resume. False statements often include embellishment of prior responsibilities or accomplishments. To avoid a costly hiring mistake, employers need to be sure about the credentials of their job applicants, but traditional employment verification checks often yield very little usable information about an applicant. This situation can create a "blind spot" about an applicant's demonstrated skills and behaviors.

To assist employers overcome this "blind spot", Inquirehire offers E-reference Check, which is powered by Skill Survey. E-reference Check utilizes a web-based application to gather comprehensive professional references checks on applicants. E-reference Check works because it provides a confidential process for the reference provider, and it is easier for everyone involved; the applicant, the reference provider, and the especially the employer.

E-reference Check can be used in conjunction with other Inquirehire background check services, or it can be used as a stand alone service. Pricing is per applicant, not per reference, and it is far more cost effective than traditional telephone based reference checks. Employers of all sizes can minimize the risk of a hiring mistake by utilizing E-reference Check.
