SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY--(Marketwire - Jun 28, 2012) - Chequed.com, Inc., an online reference checking and pre-employment testing provider used by HR professionals, today announced the general availability of Version 3.0 of ChequedReference™. ChequedReference™ is a cloud-based reference checking system that utilizes assessment-based logic to provide unparalleled insight into a candidate's fit for a job and company.
Designed to replace or augment the traditional phone-based reference-checking process, ChequedReference™ automates the gathering of information from references and uses proprietary behavioral science to predict whether a candidate is suitable. In addition to providing hiring employers with unprecedented visibility into past performance and insight into whether a candidate will flourish within their organization, ChequedReference™ delivers an exceptional employment branding experience to candidates and their references.
Greg Moran, Chairman and President of Chequed.com, commented, "ChequedReference™ makes reference checking relevant again because its ease of use drives high completion rates. It is unique in the reference checking category because it has its basis in behavioral assessments. We've designed a solution that reliably asks meaningful questions, automatically interprets the responses and makes the reference checking step of the recruiting continuum scientific rather than subjective."
Version 3.0 of ChequedReference™ features more than 1,000 pre-loaded validated benchmarks for easy implementation and gives users the ability to create custom reference check questions per job. Candidate liability release forms are standard, alleviating concerns related to the reference checking process, and the look and feel can be customized to deliver the optimal employment branding experience. Version 3.0 features a number of other options, including optional candidate self-assessments to compare candidate self-reported information versus reference-reported and the ability to ensure full confidentiality to safeguard candor and honesty.
