"XRef has expedited my hiring process!"

What do you like best about Xref? Not only is my process easier and quicker, but the response time from the team has been so fast! I can get a new template put into the system with a quick email - and they'll have their team on it ASAP. Great response times. What do you dislike about Xref? I'd like to see candidates be able to add references as they go. Instead of having to send them a new invite when their first references don't participate. What problems is Xref solving and how is that ...

"Reliable and supportive"

What do you like best? X Ref puts the responsibility back into the hands of the candidate and eliminates the need for hiring managers to spend time calling and coordinating with a candidate's references. X Ref's reference templates eliminate the possibility of hiring managers asking off the cuff and inappropriate questions. X Ref's emailed reference checks allow the reference to complete the check on their own time, resulting in more thorough and thoughtful answers than the typical on the ...

"Great add on for the recruitment tool kit"

What do you like best about Xref? Easy and can set and forget. It keeps you in the loop with emails when references are submitted so I don't need to keep chasing it and I don't need to be on the phone chasing references all day. This is particularly great when the volume of recruitment is high. I couldn't imagine doing my job without it. Xref is easy to use for all parties involved and I highly recommend if you're on the fence about it. The alerts via email are also very helpful it means ...

"Best In Class Customer Service"

What do you like best about Xref? We had had XREF implemented into our ATS system twice. The internal team was incredibly helpful and was able to work with our ATS software developers to ensure that we had the full ability to use the references through our system. The lower cost and the fact that they do not expire has been incredible. We have had some big projects and I was able to increase our credits so easily. Also, our point of contact at XREF Jorge has been great to work with. Quick ...

"Too good to be true? Nope!"

What do you like best about Xref? I was sceptical when I was first introduced to Xref, I'd spent over 10 years calling referees! I also used to receive timesheets by fax machine and I don't miss that either. The ease of using Xref is amazing and new hiring managers are always impressed with the reference reports. I like how it has integrated with our ATS so I literally have to click one box and it send the reference request. I only log into Xref now to read and download reports What do you ...

Candidates can't add additional referees after they have already submitted some. Candidates can't change things after they have submitted them.
