The Employment Report

 Today Workkrow.com released a customized, automated reference check tool for job seekers, making checking their own references cost effective, quick, and easy. As employers receive more job applications for fewer positions, references are an increasingly important part of the hiring decision. HR Departments are under increasing pressure to “hire right” and reduce the costs associated with ineffective hiring. Selective undergraduate and graduate programs are using automated references to make their acceptance decisions.

There are many options for self-checking references that cost anywhere from $30 to $120 a reference. For $3.99, Workkrow.com customizes reference questions based on the job seekers information, e-mails the reference, reminds the reference provider to complete the reference if it is not completed within 3 days, provides a written report to the job seeker and sends an automatic thank you e-mail to the reference provider.

Self-checking references is essential because a bad reference can cost the applicant a good job, a lukewarm reference can result in an undergraduate or graduate rejection letter, and a refusal to complete a reference lets the applicant know they need to find another reference.

Workkrow.com provides the opportunity to submit an application in a position of strength and confidence with no hassle for the job seeker or the reference.
