Director of People & Culture Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 11/19/2024 "Great product! Saves time, and provides insight" 5/5 What do you like best about Crosschq? As a leader of a very small HR team that does a lot of recruiting, this is one of my favorite tools. It saves us so much time with reference checks, and the surveys are actually really insightful. We have made hiring decisions based off the feedback, and it has saved us from hiring the wrong candidate many times. I also love that the references can opt to be passive candidates as well - we have hired a few folks that way! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Crosschq? The only thing is I wish I could push potential candidates from the referrals into our ATS. I also wish that they could also upload a resume. Not a huge deal, but would help with recruiting them!

Allowing leaders to make insightful hiring decisions is what we're all about! (Also love that you've made hires from reference opt-ins!) Crosschq does support automatic prospect uploading for many ATSs, however, not all ATSs support this feature within their APIs. In that case, there is the option to download potential prospects into a CSV file and upload them into the ATS manually. If you are unfamiliar with this and need any help, your CSM or our Support Team would be happy to help!

It offers easy of access for both customers and applicants. The recruiting metrics for overall score from referrals is excellent and the security of knowing when there maybe potential for fraudulent submissions is a plus.

Allows us to view feedback from people who have had close contact or work relationships with candidates that may eventually be potential new hires.
