The New World Of References

You blitz the interview, you impress the employer but there is just one box left to tickā€¦. your references. Securing the role depends on them.

Nowadays, itā€™s easy to check out a company or potential new hire

Today it is so much easier to check people out using social connections. People are happy to give you recommendations if they know you personally or have worked with you.

Employers LOVE to see great recommendations!

Employers want to see that the person they are considering employing has great recommendations. We all heed the advice of friends or colleagues when they recommend something. The same applies here.

Having your work colleagues recommend you is as powerful as your boss giving you a reference. Quality personal recommendations are valuable to employers.

Does your organization attract the best candidates?

The best employees want to work with the best employers. They are happier and more productive.

Itā€™s easier than ever for potential hires to do their research on your company to find out what your current employees say about working there.
