Q1: How to conduct a reference check?

Elaborate with examples at least four measures of background


investigation and reference check in the organization.

Answer:

HOW TO CONDUCT REFERENCE CHECKS?


1. Identify yourself, your title, organization name and tell them you are calling about a reference for a
candidate you are considering
2. Ask if now is a good time to talk or whether they would rather schedule a call at a later time
3. Make sure they understand that you have the consent from the applicant and that all responses will
remain confidential
4. It is important to give a brief description of the role you are considering the applicant for, so that
they can comment in context
5. Give them time to answer your questions. Let them respond, and do not cut them off or put words
in their mouth

MEASURES OF BACKGROUND INVESTIGATION AND REFERENCE CHECK IN THE ORGANIZATION

The background check plays an important role in the hiring process, particularly in certain jobs, such as
those involving handling money or working with children, more so than others.
Today, a majority of companies view the background check as a necessity, rather than an option. A
thorough background check of a prospective employee protects employees, customers, partners, suppliers
— just about anyone who does business with that company.
With the plethora of cases related to employee theft, violence, drug and alcohol abuse, dishonesty, and
fraud, a background check can protect a company from becoming liable or accountable as a result of hiring
an employee that has these types of predispositions or tendencies — and acts upon them.
What Employers Can Check
In many cases, background checks are used to verify things like:
1. Degree Status
2. Credit History
3. Criminal History
4. Verify Employment Dates
5. Verify College Attendance
6. Driving Records
7. Professional Licenses or Certifications
