Background Check Software

We utilize SkillSurvey for professional reference checks and sourcing passive candidates that have interest in the organization. We're able to share the reference checks as a report within human resources and the hiring manager. Those that respond to the reference check are able to "opt in" for further contact regarding opportunities based on their current role or experience. We can sort by recruiter that oversees the position or role the candidate listed.

SkillSurvey is used by some of our clients as their tool for pre-employment referencing. We also use the tool ourselves, for our new hires. SkillSurvey allows us to vet all our new hires and some of our clients' new hires, so we know they're the correct choice for the job and there are no red flags.

It is very easy to use, so we don't have to spend time training others how to process reference checks.
SkillSurvey seems to gather many more responses than other vendors used. This is great because it stops us from having to physically call additional references.
We're able to gather leads from the references who complete the link and opt to be contacted by a recruiter. In the HR/recruitment world, this is seen as free leads!

Customizability is lacking, you have to choose from job titles that are already stored in the tool. Some clients don't like this.
There is no option for someone to opt to do the reference via phone, this could prevent someone from completing the reference.

We're able to collect more references, which allows us to clear candidates to start their jobs quicker.
The additional leads collected are sent to recruiters who are then able to have more candidates to reach out to for potential future employment.
