This was more than a reference. Your survey was developed by psychologists to make hiring smarter, faster, and help minimize employee turnover by 35%. And you didn’t have to fax, scan, or call anyone.
How are my answers being used?
Phone references tend to hold back. Because responses like yours are confidential, companies get a clearer picture of every candidate.
Your ratings are averaged with a candidate’s other references. And hiring managers can also see how the candidate compares against thousands of others in similar jobs.
Hiring managers can use your qualitative feedback and the quantitative data provided to make a smarter decision.
A SkillSurvey report provides a clearer picture with a data-rich view of every candidate using our Pre-Hire 360 process.
We also give our customers the flexibility to determine their own reference process.
We know what makes a great hire stick. Response rates and the overall average numeric rating can predict whether a candidate will have a successful first year. And yes, it’s super accurate.
