Employee Reference Screening Services

Personal and professional reference screening can be a powerful source of information about the traits of your applicant. When an applicant provides personal reference information for employment purposes, you have the opportunity to gain insight that can help you determine if the applicant will be a good fit for the job and your organization.

Best Practices of Employee Reference Screening:

When employment reference screening involves asking questions that go beyond factual items of dates, position, salary, etc., the background report is considered an Investigative Consumer Report, governed by FCRA § 606. With this designation come additional responsibilities that you must meet. Your provider should help you understand these requirements and assist in your compliance with FCRA regulations. Proforma has deep experience with and understanding of FCRA regulations. We can create a reference verification program for your organization that is both useful and compliant.

Limitations of an Employee Reference Check:

As with other forms of reference checks, the biggest limitation resides in the reference provider’s willingness to participate. Some individuals simply will not return phone calls. Others are hesitant or unwilling to present their opinions about the applicant. And some employers prohibit employees to give personal or professional references about current or past employees. Some of these limitations can be overcome with the skill and experience of a professional interviewer but others are unavoidable.
