Net Reference™

Net Reference™ is an online professional reference assessment tool that improves the quality of each new hire and eliminates time wasted in the recruiting process by providing accurate, objective, relevant information about job candidates, gathered from the ultimate source: people who have worked closely with the candidate. The confidential, web-based process makes it easy for an applicant’s former managers, colleagues and clients to respond quickly and candidly to specific, skills-based questions about an applicant’s performance and behaviors.

This breakthrough approach to reference assessment is based on more than 25 years of intensive research in job competency modeling. It delivers information about factors that are critical to success on the job but often difficult to measure through current assessment tools — skills and qualities such as honesty, integrity, ethics, and emotional intelligence, which are among the most common reasons for hiring failures. Now Net Reference™ actually measures these and other critical competencies and provides quantitative and qualitative data in comprehensive reports that complete the profile of job candidates, resulting in fully informed hiring decisions.

Telephone

A telephonic interview with a reference provided by the applicant is conducted. In order to obtain meaningful information, the use of references with whom the applicant has worked is recommended rather than personal acquaintances. Custom questions may be developed and utilized.
