Recruitment & Selection

Obtaining Meaningful References

When a business needs to employ someone the process is generally always 'urgent'. Being prepared makes the process so much quicker and effective. If an employer isn't prepared it can be much more expensive and of course fraught with danger.

Most business owners don't have comprehensive employment systems in place. A major aspect of this is the absence of maximising the collection and collation of as much information as is possible on prospective employees. Selecting the 'wrong' employee equates to a substantial cost or loss of revenue and expenditure.

 Many managers regularly omit to take up and secure candidate references.

For them the key is to bring the person on board as soon as possible to fill the gap.

Sadly they are missing an opportunity.

The opportunity to find out about the reliability, approach and consistency of their potential employee.

By seizing the opportunity to take up references, you can learn far more about the individual- their aims and ambitions – and their potential skills and abilities.
