Behind the Scenes: How Recruiters are Shaping Automated Reference Checks

The recruitment industry is undergoing a seismic shift with the integration of innovative technologies in reference checking. At the heart of this transformation is Credibled, founded by Brad Semotiuk and Elvine Assouline, which has pioneered a seamless and automated approach to reference checks. This article explores how recruiters, empowered by Credibled’s technology, are redefining the way automated reference checks are conducted.

Understanding the Role of Recruiters in Automation

Recruiters play a pivotal role in the recruitment lifecycle, and their needs have significantly influenced the development of automated reference check solutions like Credibled. Here’s a glimpse behind the scenes into how recruiters have shaped and benefited from this evolution:

1. Unlimited Requests & Transparent Pricing

Recruiters, often working on tight timelines and budgets, have driven the need for a flexible and cost-effective solution. Credibled’s Unlimited Requests model allows recruiters to initiate as many reference requests as necessary. Their transparent pricing model ensures that clients are only billed for candidates who secure at least one completed reference. This approach maximizes recruiters’ ROI while providing them with a predictable and straightforward billing system.

2. Streamlined Team Expansion

Hiring teams often expand or contract depending on recruitment needs. To cater to this dynamic, recruiters have shaped Credibled’s Seamless Team Expansion feature, enabling companies to add users or administrators without extra fees. This allows recruitment teams to collaborate efficiently without concerns about hidden costs.

3. Integrated Lead Generation

Recruiters often juggle between sourcing candidates and building business development opportunities. With Integrated Lead Generation, recruiters can activate a feature that asks referees if they are looking for a job or planning to hire themselves. This unique feature has turned the reference-checking process into a dual-purpose tool for attracting new candidates and potential clients.

4. Fraud Detection for Authenticity

Recruiters rely heavily on the integrity of reference checks. Recognizing this, Credibled introduced Advanced Fraud Detection to ensure authenticity and integrity in hiring processes. This feature enhances recruiters’ confidence in the quality and accuracy of references, leading to more informed hiring decisions.

5. Direct SMS Requests and Automated Reminders

Time is of the essence for recruiters. Credibled’s Direct SMS Requests allow recruiters to send reference checks via SMS, significantly speeding up response times. Additionally, Automated Reminders are sent to candidates and referees every 24 hours for four days, increasing the likelihood of completion without extra effort from recruiters.
