SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. and SAN FRANCISCO, C.A. – Aug 1, 2013 – Chequed.com, Inc., the leading provider of cloud-based Predictive Talent SelectionTM solutions, and SmartRecruiters, the hiring platform, today announced an integrated assessment-based hiring solution with ChequedReferenceTM. Through this unique alliance, customers will utilize automated reference checking to improve candidate quality and further streamline their talent acquisition processes to generate the greatest Return on Hire(TM).
Chequed.com President and Chief Executive Officer Greg Moran said, “Progressive organizations are leveraging the power of the Internet to automate and reengineer the reference checking process. Unlike traditional methods, which include contacting references for information by phone or email, an automated structure generates enormous time savings because the need for manual scheduling is eliminated and the platform also gives a candidate’s busy references a confidential, compliant and structured means to communicate pertinent data about candidate fit quickly.”
He continues, “Further, to provide insightful, job-relevant data, our solution provides a structured reference assessment – which is essentially a tool that asks a candidate’s references to rate the knowledge of the applicant’s competencies and behaviors associated with those competencies. We are excited to offer ChequedReferenceTM to SmartRecruiters’ customers. Through this new integration, key insights about a candidate’s potential can be viewed and transferred in real-time. This gives users a seamless experience and the data necessary to make timely and more effective decisions about their candidate pools and resources.”
“The reference check is an absolutely essential step in the hiring process,” said SmartRecruiters Chief Executive Officer Jerome Ternynck. “Chequed.com’s solutions provide verified objectivity to screen out unqualified candidates and screen in high performers.”
He continues, “This integration of reference assessment content excellence within the SmartRecruiters hiring platform is a win-win for customers. By embedding automated reference checking tools into the hiring flow, organizations have one of the greatest opportunities to improve candidate fit, which minimizes turnover and maximizes productivity. We look forward to making reference checks easy for all hiring businesses.”
