Xref Reviews

The integration to our applicant tracking system. I move someone to the XREF stage, and the forms are automatically sent out. It is a low lift.

The rating of a review based on the number of words. Hiring managers get confused sometimes, and equate that rating as a rating of the review itself. Example: if the referrer doesn't type many words in their review, the review is given a bad rating. The hiring manager glances at that and assumes the review is bad. I don't think a review needs to be rated based on how many words the referrer inputted.

No problems! Benefits are how easy it is to use for all parties and low lift. The automatic send out, easy to fill out for candidates and referrers, and easy to review and download when done. Definitely worth it.

The fact that I send the link to a candidate and they are responsible for filling everything in and confirming that their references respond in a timely manner. It saves me so much time. It also creates a situation where since I am not actually interviewing the manager personally, I don't even need to be part of the same industry. I can just send out a link and it gets responded to since the question sheet is set up to handle that.

I like everything about XREF, it's my favourite program. I can't imagine trying to do my job without it. I even discovered two candidates who tried to fill in thier own references so was able to catch dishonesty. The program will show if users are all logging in from the same IP address.

it solves the problem of having to chase after candidates and their references. I don't have to waste my time talking on the phone when I could be working! It saves me so much time. And it also solves the issue of having having friends pretend to be managers. It's amazing. They also have the ability to send out exit interviews!

The abilty to give a brief insight into candidates.

Group requests can take some time to put together.

Providing brief insights into candidates with the abitlity to read deeper. Spots AI, and IP issues.

I like how easy it is to use--just need to enter candidate details and hit 'Submit.' I also like that the system automatically send notifications to the candidates and to me if they haven't initiated the check.

I wish it had a reporting function where I can sort the references by their answers. For example, one of the questions asked is if the reference is open to exploring new career opportunities. I'd like to be able to gather all the references the said 'Yes' to that question as they're a candidate pool we can use in recruitment.

Xref is a timesaver. I don't have to contact the references one-by-one nor send them reminder emails. Xref does it all for me. I only need to review the results.

XREF is by far the most user-friendly reference checking software I've used.

As a recruiter, I manage consistently high volumes of candidates in the health care sector and the time saved by utilising XREF in our recruitment workflow is priceless.

Once you've set up your reference check templates via the template builder, the process is fully automated, making it as simple as entering the candiate's email and phone number - XREF does the rest! XREF will send out reminders to both candidates and referees when they've not actioned their reference request in a timely manner, meaning I no longer have to spend my valuable time playing phone tag!

Love the feature that flags a reference as suspicious when a candidate's referee accesses their reference from the same IP address as them. It provides us with even more confidence in an already wonderful product.

Customer support is great - the team are always very quick to respond to any enquiries I may have.

Thanks XREF. I'm a big fan and will continue using your product in the years to come.

It's hard to find fault with the XREF platform. It would be nice to be able to set custom time periods for candidate and referee reminders etc.

XREF frees up my time as a recruiter. When you add up the time it would take me to try and reach a referee and then complete the check over the phone, I am saving anywhere up to 30 minutes or so per candidate.

Such a great system! Has streamlined and imrpoved our recruitment turnaround process significantly.

No bad things to say about XRef - Love the system! Cant fault it.

Turnaround time and digitalising reference checks (no more phone calls and phone tag)

Super easy to use with or integration with Expr3ss. I frequently use Xref each day in my work as a recruiter, usually putting through over 15 candidates through XRef with two referees. Implementation, along with the number of features creates a smooth process. The reports are very easy to use/read for our hiring managers. The customer support is really quick and helpful when needed.

I think it would be nice to give the user the exact reason why a reference is unobtainable so this can be explained to the candidate.

Xref helps reduce the time it takes for us to do reference checks and ensures it is completed correctly and by the correct person with no suspicious activity.

how easy is to navigate and the guidance is provided by xref

the credit system is easy to understand

easy to read the different criteria

allows you to sort by required dates

easy to create questionnaires

there is nothing I dislike maybe not being able to export all reference at once and having to do it one at the time

it is a great reliable site to work with

in the past, we had to contact each referee. It has been great working with XREF it has taken so much out of my plate. Also ensures all references are valid and coming from the refers and not the potential staff member.

Constent follow up

Accuracy

Able to find the genuiety

Too many questions for minimum roles it can be shorter for Beginner roles

T know the candidates efficiency

Xref i have recently started using it has helped me strore the references of our upcoming hires, also we can contact them for the opportunity we have based on their profiles

As of now I don't have anything to dislike about it

It is benefiting us to upload the reference check data and contact them for future roles
