Adapting to new hiring practices is a necessity for any business or recruiter to thrive in today’s competitive job market. One of the things that is constantly in flux is the role and importance of pre-employment reference checks in the workplace. Zoho Recruit is teaming up with SkillSurvey to optimize your reference check process to suit your modern hiring strategy. While checking references doesn’t always generate the sort of fanfare and attention that other talent acquisition activities do, they present a key opportunity to improve your new-hire experience.

With the SkillSurvey integration for Zoho Recruit, you’ll be able to:

• Improve efficiency and fill positions faster 
• Target an exact mix of competencies and intangible skills in candidates
• Tailor how reference checks are conducted for different jobs
• Cut costs associated with time-to-fill and high turnover  

“We’re thrilled to partner with Zoho to make hiring easier and more informative for recruiters and hiring managers. With just one click, they can start reference checks from the Zoho Recruit platform and deploy a fast and easy process for candidates and their references. Then, in just a day or so, a detailed, report is available that provides valuable feedback on the relevant soft skills which are so important for a job candidate’s success and long-term retention” said Tracey Azer, Vice President of Alliances at SkillSurvey.

The report stated, “Zoho Recruit can significantly reduce candidate drop-off and contribute to maintained engagement throughout the employee lifecycle once a candidate is hired, subsequently reducing employee flight-risk. ”

The criteria for shortlisting vendors relied on the offering having diverse and comprehensive functionalities that enable organizations to maximize their return on investment and the resources to help organizations deploy large-scale applications. Vendors had to make their case with tangible examples from customers on how a certain solution delivers greater functionality and usability than their competitors.
