Pre-Hire 360® process works:
Step 1 The Recruiter
First, you create a new candidate.

Here's an example of a text request
Step 2 The Candidate
You trigger an email or text message to the candidate.
Now all they have to do is access SkillSurvey Reference®, enter their references and sign a waiver.
All of which can be done in English, Spanish, Chinese, German, French or Portuguese.
If you're a staffing firm, you can also manage this process by entering references on behalf of your candidates
Step 2 The Candidate
You trigger an email or text message to the candidate.
Now all they have to do is access SkillSurvey Reference®, enter their references and sign a waiver.
All of which can be done in English, Spanish, Chinese, German, French or Portuguese.
Step 3 The References
A personal email or text goes from the candidate to all their references.
It highlights the confidentiality of their responses and the signed waiver - and it's why our response rate is as high as 85%.
For unique workforce needs, there is also a customer configured workflow that lets you set the number of references or change the confidentiality requirements.
Step 3 The References
A personal email or text goes from the candidate to all their references.
It highlights the confidentiality of their responses and the signed waiver - and it's why our response rate is as high as 85%.
The references then complete the detailed job specific survey, rating the candidate on the key skills specific to their past job.
The survey can be done from a mobile device and the whole process takes the reference less than 10 minutes.
Step 4 The Assessment
The ratings are then presented in our easy-to-use Reference Feedback Report.
It even shows you the managers’ feedback separately so you can weigh them accordingly.
Which means that in four quick, simple steps, you're ready to start making better hiring decisions.
Need additional insights? There are options to add the percentile of the ratings within a norm group of like candidates.
