Checkster

Reference checks can provide powerful candidate insights yet, when done manually, can fall short in providing the critical information you need to make a good hire. It’s hard to make a smart decision about a candidate when you don’t talk to enough references or they aren’t able to be candid or thoughtful in their responses over the phone.

Checkster fully automates the entire reference checking process, gathering higher quality feedback in less time. Over time, analyzing this collective intelligence will help you to predict quality of hire.
