Mill Valley, Calif. / February 1, 2011 — Checkster, the leading Software-as-a-Service provider of Reference Check 2.0, will be used to validate all applicants of Ropella’s search practice. Ropella, the leading executive search and consulting firm that specializes in the chemical and allied industries, announced its implementation of Checkster’s reference checking technology.
Since 1987, Ropella has developed a solid track record of proven successes and prides itself on finding the most cohesive match between employers and employees. Its unique proprietary process for finding the ideal match, which has been perfected and proven for more than 20 years and is now the subject of a book, will be complemented by Checkster’s innovative reference check product.
“Instead of spending days to try to connect with two or three references over a period of a week, we can now gain access to over six colleagues in a matter of days,” says Robbie Ropella, president of Ropella’s executive division. “Moreover, our candidates benefit from the interaction by gaining a 360 report that not only helps them showcase their strengths, but also understand themselves better,” she continued. “We are now able to give a more complete view of the candidate to our customers in a visual fashion. I love the report; it allows you to easily show who will fit into a position well or not. It’s revolutionized our process.”
“We are very proud that Ropella, an organization with a true best practice methodology — as described in their book `The Right Hire’ — decided to implement Checkster for increased results,” says Yves Lermusi, CEO and founder of Checkster. “It is with great pleasure that we welcome Ropella to Checkster’s roster of clients.”
“Checkster is more cost effective and very time efficient — we get a better snapshot of our candidates,” said Ropella.
