Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We tested this program for the use of conducting reference checks for potential and newly hired candidates
Pros and Cons
  • Easy to use
  • Detailed feedback
  • Results are easy to read and simple
  • Cannot be used for all positions
  • arent enough specified categories
  • Customizability is lacking
Likelihood to Recommend
SkillSurvey standardizes your reference checking so its consistently applied across all hires for certain positions. This tool has saved a lot of resources and sped up our hiring process as a result.
Most Important Features
  • Ease of use
  • Simple to read results
  • quick turnaround for results
Return on Investment
  • The feature to ask references if they would like to be contacted to no prove to be useful or worth the added expense.
  • Cannot bulk files
  • Quick turnaround time, which is helpful in picking candidates
Alternatives Considered
Have not tried another program - our organization usually uses a third party to conduct reference checks. We tested out this program in order to see if it was able to be done in-house and if it could help with budgeting.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
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.
Pros and Cons
  • 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.
Likelihood to Recommend
I think if any corporation wants to include reference checks in their pre-employment or selection process they should choose SkillSurvey. They seem to be the best of all the vendors I've used, and able to get the most completed references, as well as the leads as a perk. The only time I think it would be less appropriate is if the company was very small and reference checks via a tool such as SkillSurvey may be unnecessary.

Return on Investment
  • 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.
Alternatives Considered
  • Checkster and Checker
I've used a few other reference checking vendors, as well as have references completed through background checking vendors, and our company even tried to create our own reference tool. SkillSurvey is the best we've used yet. They gather the greatest percentage of references, quickly, and with the least amount of "technical issues". Again, the leads are also a bonus.
