Topic: “Reference Check 2.0 -How Digital Social Networking is Transforming the Selection Process to improve your quality of hires.
- How can the traditional and much-debated reference check process be transformed into your best ally for your hiring process? This presentation will first give you a benchmark for the traditional reference check based on a survey of 150 practitioners. From this information you will learn what questions these people find to be the most useful; how much time they spend on it; and how you can improve your results. Secondly, this presentation will show you how leveraging the internet as a social networking tool can help you transform your reference check practice into a true assessment tool to improve the quality of hires.
Participants in this class will gain a better understanding of the following:
• How to use the latest technologies such as social networking to check references
• Know which questions are the best to reveal top performers
• Know the best practices (based on a survey of 150 practitioners)
• How to eliminate the legal challenges reference checking might bring
• How to avoid candidates gaming the system
• How to dramatically increase the number of references while reducing your time calling them
• How to turn automated reference checking into a cheap sourcing tool
