Checkster’s Reference Checkup aims at reducing the 50 percent mis-hire rate. That rate creates immense frustration for individuals and wastes billions of dollars for organizations. The Reference Checkup provides organizations with one of the most accurate ways of assessing an individual during the recruiting or internal promotion process while only requiring a couple of minutes of the recruiting organization’s time. Moreover, the complete transparency candidates have of the assessment enables individuals to learn as much from an unsuccessful placement than from a successful one.
