Personal References

Awesome Image

Personal reference check involves contacting people who know a candidate personally (rather than professionally) to verify their character, work ethic, and reliability. Unlike professional references (former bosses, colleagues), personal references provide insight into a candidate:

 Integrity & trustworthiness
 Interpersonal skills
 Adaptability & problem-solving
 Consistency in behavior

These checks are commonly used for:

Entry-level hires (with limited work history)

Sensitive roles (handling money, confidential data)

Cultural fit assessments

 

Personal references add valuable context but shouldn’t replace employment verification. The checks are ideal for

  • Customer-facing roles (where personality matters)
  • Startups (strong culture fit needs)
  • Roles requiring high trust (finance, childcare)

 

 

The verification process is either with the Client's questions or by using our  standard questionnaires
