Domain issues preventing access to the service (did not recognize my business email as a valid domain, received error message) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It helps references project manage, providing references along with a place for notes, reminders and tracking the process from start to finish. When getting references for my current role, one of my references dropped the ball a bit while I was waiting for an offer; through Xref we were able to push out a reminder and complete the reference.

I think it'd be helpful if there was a scheduling piece within the tool where a reference could book a call with the hiring manager. With this not being available then, sometimes a call can be missed the first couple of times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Being able to automate the references process, one that is mainly led by the applicant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I believe they need to improve the way in which the gaps are asked. In our case, we need to know why our applicants have gaps in their employment.
In addition, it would be great if us as a employer, can upload and update a reference if this one has been provided by email, as a lot of companies are using a PDF template telling us the time an employee has worked for them but they dont provide it on Xref but send it by email instead.

What I find most helpful is the speed which candidates can be logged into the Xref system, the time it saves me from having to chase up or conduct these myself, the realtime comments provided by referees and the controls put in place to monitor the validity of the referee. We want candidates who are truthful about their skills and experience and receiving reports that alert to problamatic behaviour is very telling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I would like the option to register the candidates referees on their behalf, and then perhaps an email asking them to confirm acceptance to proceed.
Many of our candidates English is a second language or not tech savvy, this could be a useful feature when conducting F2F interviews. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Xref is a very beneficial tool for checking references. Not only is the interface super easy to navigate but the customer support is hands down one of the best I have worked with! Xref is the complete package of efficiency. productivity and support Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I, unfortunately, cannot think of any dislikes or negatives of the website/interface or the Xref Team. Everything so far has been incredible! Way to go Xref Team! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like that you can customize your questions on Xref. Our organization has a detailed background check process, so it is nice to be able to customize the questions to fit our needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The downside is I would like to be able to send two different templates for one candidate. We do verifications and references for each candidate here. The verification only needs three questions, whereas the references are a little more detailed. It still has been working, so I wouldn't say it is a problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
