I totally get that 👉 Reference Checks 👈 may not be the **hottest** thing you’re gonna read about today… BUT.. in my world if it’s something that will save you time, money and headaches… it’s worth shouting about right!? In my 20 years of Recruiting and HR, I know that most people view this as a boring (and potentially unnecessary) step in a process… or maybe something that’s only needed in ‘big business’ to ‘go on the file’... So today on the pod we are diving into how these are a critical part of your hiring process ESPECIALLY if you are a small business and how to make the most out of them! We dive into: 👉 Whether you should bother doing them… (spoiler… it’s a YES!) 👉 How to make them short AND effective  👉 How to uncover red flags even when they aren’t being waved at you in an obvious way And... 👉 What to do if you get a negative Reference Check (which has happened to me and why I hired them anyway!) Dive in below 💕 https://lnkd.in/g-6Snwxy

Business leaders know that creating a system, process, or procedure for business activities produces better results. Logical, I know. So, when it comes to one of the key tasks in a business (hiring a team), it is critical to use a hiring checklist when running a successful recruiting process and building your team. This essential tool ensures consistency, efficiency, and alignment with your organisation's needs. A detailed checklist can clarify job requirements, establish evaluation criteria, and streamline selection. It helps to maintain focus and ensure nothing gets missed. Additionally, a checklist promotes objectivity by standardising the assessment of candidates, leading to more informed hiring decisions. If you would like a copy of the hiring checklist we provide for our clients, drop me a DM here.
