Don’t Take Shortcuts – Minimise Risk with a Reference Check

Hiring the wrong person can put your business and clients at risk. Minimise risk by ensuring you have all the information about a candidate before hiring them.

Employment References

Our dedicated teams act as an extension of your HR and take care of the employment reference check process for you. If a candidate has been self-employed we work with their accountant or HM Revenue & Customs records.

Our extensive in-house language capabilities mean we can conduct employment references in any country.

Employment Gap Checks

Our dedicated teams work to verify periods of unemployment by a variety of means, including personal referees, passport checks and government sources.

Turnaround time: 10 to 15 working days

Personal and Professional References

We can help you gain insight into a candidate’s general character by obtaining personal or professional references such as from a line manager or other senior member of staff from current or previous employment. We can tailor the questions to assess areas such as performance, ability, relationships and communication skills.
