ESS Enhances Reference Checks
"More Options, Better Results"
ESS has been interviewing the personal and
professional references of job applicants for over
twenty years. We’ve always welcomed customized
reference-check questions, but now we are
introducing two new enhancements
that will help our clients get more
meaningful information in the most readable format!
Client-Specific,
Position-Related Reference Checks
Our
staff’s reference-centered, soft communication
skills are designed to quickly build trust and put
supervisors and references at ease in order to
elicit specific, meaningful information about the
applicant and the setting in which they have worked.
Before conducting
reference checks, we always review the job
applicant’s work history and the position for which
the applicant is applying. Now with a little input
from you, we believe we can gather even more of the
candidates’ primary competencies and attributes (or
lack of) as they specifically relate to the
objectives of your company’s positions.
The
link below will take you to a reference-check
worksheet and in less than ten minutes, you can
provide ESS with key information that we will
integrate and consistently apply to reference checks
for a specific position or job classification.
We’ve been refining our reference questions and
interview techniques for over two decades; now we
want to take it to another level.

Worksheet)
New Reference Report
Format
The
information you provide through the worksheet will
further strengthen our reference-check skills.
However, transcribing reference information to the
written page in a manner that will best convey
reference information is a separate part of the
overall process that we have improved.
The
traditional ESS reference format has been block
paragraph style, which can be lengthy, and sometimes
difficult or time consuming to read and extract the
key informational elements from the write-up.
In a
few days, you will notice that supervisor and
reference write-ups will appear in a format we call
“Seven Core Inquiries” or 7CI. From the 7CI format,
references are more easily read with quicker
assimilation of the information presented. The
traditional block style is still available if you
prefer, as well as a Q &A format option.
