With so many candidates available, organizations are seeking the best ways to assess the high volume of job applicants. By leveraging the connectivity of social networking, Reference Check 2.0 has emerged as a new standard to effectively assess candidates.
Social networks have transformed the mainstream communications, says Yves Lermusi, CEO of Checkster, the leading provider of talent assessment that leverages collective intelligence. Business processes are following those transformations and benefiting by leveraging digital connections to enable employers to assess employees.
When determining the best fit for a job, social networks are a potent option, said John Younger, CEO of Accolo. As a leading recruitment process outsourcer, with hundreds of customers and supporting thousands of jobs, we were fortunate to partner early with Checkster, whose Reference Check 2.0 provides us the flexibility and power to be extremely efficient while getting in-depth, tailored candidate assessments.
Younger adds that the flexibility of the Checkster platform allows Accolo to easily perform a tailored assessment for each candidate with Reference Check 2.0 and online peer rating to provide their customers with vetted candidates.
To also complement its comprehensive sourcing approach, Accolo is utilizing Checkster‚s contact database to leverage the references as passive candidates. This opt-in approach provides over five quality, passive candidates per applicant going through the process. While this method has been manually used for years by search firms, Checkster has supercharged it by providing twice as many quality passive candidates.
We are proud that Accolo, a leading RPO provider who understands the recruiting process and enabling technologies extremely well has implemented Checkster for better performance, says Yves Lermusi, CEO and founder of Checkster. During this period of economic recovery, our goal is to provide leading organizations with state of the art technology to grow their organization with the best employees.
