References that come straight back to you

How reference checks work in STARselect

• A private link for each referee. STARselect makes each referee a private link to a reference form, and you send it from your own email or phone. Whether you're hiring for your own team or for a client, it works the same way.
• A thorough reference, typed or dictated. Referees complete the reference inside STARselect, covering their work with the candidate, achievements, leading and managing, work habits and first-hand examples, typed or by hands-free voice dictation.
• Straight back to the candidate. The completed reference comes straight back to the candidate's record, with an email to let you know. Referees are asked to reply within three days, and the link stays open for seven.
• A reminder, sent for you. If a referee hasn't answered three days after the request, and you've connected a mailbox and have their email address, one reminder goes automatically from your own mailbox, with the same link. It isn't sent if they've already answered, and it's only sent once. Otherwise, the candidate's record prompts you to email, text or copy a reminder.
• In the same document as the CV. “Combine CV, evidence check and score” puts their CV, score, evidence check and any reference check in one document to print or download as a PDF. See presenting candidates.
• Then on to the offer. Move them to Offer in your pipeline and close the vacancy, with the candidate’s licences already on record.
