Why are Automated Employer References better for employers

What is an Automated Employment Reference?

Automated employee reference checks are when an employer uses a software to reference potential employees as part of the employee referencing process. Instead of having to manually construct an employee referencing form the software can automatically alter it to your needs if programmed that way. This will enable employers to be able to infill details that change per candidate without having to go through the form and hand typing it in.

Why are Automated Employment References better?

Automated employee reference checks can be mass-produced easily as it is done by a software rather than by hand. Mass production will help larger companies get more employee referencing forms out quicker if they hire a large number of people. The reference form will have a direct link to the software that tracks all the responses so that they can get back to the company as soon as it is filled out. This avoids the hassle of having to wait for postage or for the candidate to deliver the forms or email them over.

Automated employee reference checks can offer more security than manual ones. With the right software you will be able to encrypt the information because it would have sensitive data that people would not want exposed. This method will also help with security because the access on both sides could have restriction on who can access the file. With manual handling they could be read by anyone who can find the file and that can then leave them room to leak information.

By having the employee referencing done through a software it can save you some time with pre-screening. With a software you can design it to look for key words to help refine the best references. You can also programme it to chase people up for the references. By doing this it will save people from having to type up emails and make phone calls to get them to complete the references.
