Problem

Recruiting coordinators manually track when candidates reach the reference check stage, then look up each candidate's reference contacts and send out requests one by one. This manual outreach is easy to delay or forget when several candidates are moving through the pipeline at once, pushing back the start of the reference check process and the eventual hiring decision.

Solution

When a candidate reaches the Reference Check stage in the applicant tracking system, the automation retrieves the candidate's record and pulls the associated reference contact list. It then sends a personalized reference request to each contact through a form tool and logs the request date on the candidate record in the applicant tracking system.
