Watch a brief video about Reference Checks

Reference checking is a critical part of the recruitment process. It is the best means by which to verify the accuracy of a candidate's resume and the responses given during interview.

This Starf Online tool makes reference checking easy and effective by providing you with a specific set of questions to use - whether you are calling a past employer or family friend or colleague for a character reference.

The questions in the Starf Online reference checking tool are also specifically designed to illicit examples of the behaviors assessed at interview.

Effective Questions

The Starf Online reference checking tool generates a set of questions that relate directly to the candidate's interview and the type of referee being contacted.

Accurate Checking

These questions are professionally designed to gain the trust, confidence and honesty of the referee. This ensures that the referees responses are genuine and accurate.

Referee Specific

Starf Online provides reference checking questions that are specific to the type of referee - past employer, former colleague, or character reference.

"The Starf forms give me the right questions to ask without me 'Umming' and 'Arhing', it’s great, I love it because I get all the information I need to help me trust my intuition"
