The process of reference verification implies an objective evaluation or checking of a prospective employee’s or associate’s past employment and conduct record. To put it simply, it indicates a complete background research of a shortlisted candidate to ensure that person completely fits the bill. Reference verification may also require re-affirming a person’s educational and skill background.
Several research works have revealed that the reference check serves as good predictors of a prospective employee’s performance and conduct on job. These checks offer good insights into a person’s job potential, future performance, ability to stick to a job etc., and even person’s intangible skills like work attitude, dedication, team abilities. And most importantly, furnished details may not always reflect one’s complete professional journey. Hence the need to examine the correctness becomes almost unavoidable. The details include employment details, identity details and educational details.
