There are two aspects to it;
Employer can use this single platform to request referee details from new recruits and send the reference form at the click of a button. The references can be deleted, no need to waste time chasing up past employers, sending emails back and forth.
Applicants, can proactively seek and store professional and social references, if employers request references they can share the stored references with employers saving time.
- therobot24 12y agoYou're still giving me solutions. I need you to spell out the problem. When i'm applying for a job, what problems do i encounter with my references that you are solving? When i'm hiring what problems do i encounter when i receive an applicant's references that you are solving? This is what i'm failing to understand.
- getreference 12y agoThe problem is waste of time, energy and resources for both applicants and employers. I am a recruiter myself and been working in HR for the past 10+ years and obtaining a reference is not as simple as you make it sound, which is a phone call away. There are many instances when ex employer quits a job, relocates, doesn't respond to phone calls, hence the new employer and applicant both waste time chasing someone who is not available to provide a reference. Saving paperbased references is a very old method of safe keeping references, noone these days carries a file of credentials when they go for interviews, hence, storing paperless references saves them the trouble and they can forward them to any potential employer. Similar for the employer its a simple system, no need to engage in multiple email exchanges or phone calls, simply use one simple platform, once the reference is done, save a pdf, or delete it.
