In this article we will explain how Hiring Managers can view References and indicate whether they feel the reference is suitable or not.
If you would like to jump to a specific section in this article, please use the links below:
Viewing References
To view References received, I access the References screen within the Hiring Manager Portal.
I can use the Filter to view only those References which are:
- Requested
- Reviewed
- Received
- Failed
After applying the filter, I click the candidate's name to review the reference and update the outcome.
The reference comments are displayed on the right hand side of the screen and as a file saved within the Files tab.
Hint - If there are no comments, make sure you check the Files tab as the reference may have been returned via company letterhead.
Updating References
Having reviewed the Reference, I update the outcome to Checked - Suitable or Checked - Not Suitable as required and click Update.
Hint - Depending on the minimum number of references required, marking a reference as Not Suitable may result in an automated email being sent to the Candidate advising that they need to provide another referee, one who can provide a more suitable reference.
