What you need to know:
Hiring has evolved rapidly, but reference checks haven’t. Too many organisations still rely on slow, disconnected methods that create risk instead of reducing it.
Reference checks are one of the most reliable ways to confirm a candidate’s background, yet many organisations still rely on outdated processes that are slow, inconsistent, and vulnerable to fraud.
Disconnected tools and manual follow-ups not only frustrate candidates and referees, they also create compliance gaps that can put your business at risk. In an environment where regulators expect defensible hiring practices, this is a risk no team can afford.
Modern reference check solutions are raising the standard. By combining automation, secure referee verification, and fraud detection within your compliance platform, you can collect accurate insights quickly, reduce administrative burden, and maintain a complete audit trail.
This factsheet shows how integrated reference checks deliver stronger compliance, safer hiring decisions, and a smoother experience for everyone involved. Download it now.
