**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Insurance | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 30, 2020

**What do you like best about Harver?**

I like that all I have to do is kick off the reference process to a candidate and they enter in the data.

**What do you dislike about Harver?**

I wish Checkster would use AI to know when supervisors don’t respond. Can checkster text request for references?

It’s a benefit not to have to do the references myself! Also I like the reminder option and the ability to assign it to someone else

  ### 3. Checkster Review in Business Recruitment

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Myrrh B. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 11, 2020

**What do you like best about Harver?**

Using Checkster at work saves my colleagues and the business as a whole time in terms of doing reference checks. Checkster is a very simple yet effective tool in recruitment, both from the consultant/recruiter's perspective and also the listed referee.

**What do you dislike about Harver?**

Times when it shows that there is not enough data from the listed referee makes it a bit hard to discern

**Recommendations to others considering Harver:**

Checkster is quite a good tool in business especially if recruitment is one of the core functions

**What problems is Harver solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Mostly it going through to mfront - as there are a perm and a temp side in our business

  ### 4. Checkster makes completing reference checks SO easy- can't imagine hiring for summer camp without it

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Claire Y. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 01, 2020

**What do you like best about Harver?**

Checkster completes my staff's reference checks with almost no work needed on my part. Once I start the reference check, I can just log back in once it's done.

**What do you dislike about Harver?**

I have found that I can't start a reference check for somebody if another check has already been started for them by someone else (perhaps only if that's within my association). Other than than, no complaints!

**Recommendations to others considering Harver:**

Would recommend.

**What problems is Harver solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It is the biggest time-saver ever. Playing phone tag with references was time consuming, and could take weeks. A huge benefit of Checkster is that reference checks can be completed in a matter of days.

**Official Response from Kara M.:**

> Hi Claire,

Thanks for the kind words! It does sound like your organization has configured settings so you are unable to initiate another report on a candidate that already has one active. If this is something you'd like to update, please feel free to get in touch with us at Support@Checkster.com.

None so far, my previous experiences with Checkster has been great.

Checkster, I think, is a great help with the reference check. We do not need to personally ask for the insights of the reference person of our candidate. Checkster does all the work for that.

> Hi Mariae,

Thanks for the great feedback!

  ### 28. Extremely helpful for hiring managers and leaders

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Sarah H. | HR Business Partner, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 30, 2019

**What do you like best about Harver?**

The interview guide! This ensures compliance, behavioral interview questions that really take a deep dive into personality traits, and also creates a consistent candidate experience and internal process. This process has been extremely user friendly for applicants and candidates, but also our internal team. 

I enjoy being able to share the results with new hires and see where potential gaps are and work on them by partnering with their managers to create development plans. 

**What do you dislike about Harver?**

The Mark Hired feature isn't as user friendly as I would like. OutMatch is open to updating this feature and is also open to feedback. One roadblock we have run into is pulling the report so it compares apples to apples and so that we have the correct results. This feature has a lot of potential! I'm looking forward to being able to pull data and create case studies around results and compare them to specifically our high performers. 

**Recommendations to others considering Harver:**

See if it fully integrates with your HRIS. This will help with the Mark Hired process, but will also create a better applicant and hiring experience.

**What problems is Harver solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We now have an internal process that helps streamline candidate and hiring managers experience for all positions both in our corporate office and within our retail locations. Applicants can automatically take the assessment as part of their application. This makes it extremely easy for applicants, but also hiring managers to review their information. OutMatch has the capability to integrate with many different platforms.

**What do you like best about Harver?**

If you have ever done reference checks you understand the time suck and frustration of dealing with leaving messages and waiting for calls back to complete the check. It is ridiculous! It is a completely outdated way of doing references- this saves so much time and frustration and the outcomes are better than if I would have talked to the person myself anyways. LOVE CHECKSTER!!!

**What do you dislike about Harver?**

nothing. I can not think of anything I don't like, they have thought of everything to make this as user friendly and as simple as possible!!!

**Recommendations to others considering Harver:**

Try it- just try it and I guarantee you will never go back to manual calls again! Best thing I have implemented in my current role!

**What problems is Harver solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Time saver is #1! Having a great report from the references is a huge benefit,, the check forms we were using didn't give the full picture - checkster does!

We are so happy to hear that you're happy!

  ### 34. Checkster Reference Checks Save Time & Are Easy to Use

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Erica S. | Operations Assistant, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 02, 2019

**What do you like best about Harver?**

Our company uses Checkster's Reference Checkup (soon to be called Reference Insights) during our application process for employees, volunteers, and interns. We have consistently found the Checkster site and software to be easy-to-use, simple and effective. The average time for receiving reference feedback has been significantly reduced!

**What do you dislike about Harver?**

Although our staff have become accustomed to the user interface (e.g., the dashboard), it doesn't feel quite as sleek as the candidate portal and dashboard. However, I believe the administrator/recruiter dashboards are in the process of getting an update, so that may all change soon!

**What problems is Harver solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Checkster has freed up staff time by providing a quick and efficient medium for requesting and obtaining references. No longer are we having to attach Word documents to emails or follow-up on reference requests directly. Checkster has empowered our applicants to see which of their references have been returned and which are still incomplete, allowing the applicants themselves to nudge their reference people and set the pace for this part of the process. In essence, the legwork of reference gathering has been primarily undertaken by the Checkster system and the applicant!

**Official Response from Kara M.:**

> Hi Erica,

Thanks for the love! We have recently finished several updates to the user interface and hope you enjoy the new modern design! If you have any additional ideas on how we can improve our look, please let us know at Support@Checkster.com.

**What do you like best about Harver?**

Ease of getting references and speed to market

**What do you dislike about Harver?**

I haven't really had any problems so far!

  ### 36. easy to use with great customer support

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Staffing and Recruiting | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 28, 2020

**What do you like best about Harver?**

I really like the fraud alert feature. It is very accurate.

**What do you dislike about Harver?**

having to wait for all referees to complete the reference before I can verify and create a report. I would like to be able to verify separately even if I sent them together

**What problems is Harver solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It saves me so much time and ensures I get professional and accurate references

  ### 37. Checkster helps us make more informed hiring decisions and drives employment leads for our company

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Janine J. | Corporate Strategy Advisor, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 02, 2019

**What do you like best about Harver?**

Checkster offers critical context about prior employment experience and ensures we have a clearer understanding of our prospective hires. It also weeds out candidates that lack integrity. And as an added benefit, Checkster drives new employment leads. 85% of every Checkster reference opts into our applicant lead management system.

**What do you dislike about Harver?**

I see no downside to using Checkster. Every employer should use it.

**What problems is Harver solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Checkster solves many problems by automating the process, making it easier and less costly for the employer and taking less time from prior employers. It also creating anonymity which fosters much more open feedback. Checkster also reduces legal exposure created when references aren't handled properly by the employer or reference giver. The system catches integrity issues that you may not uncover until someone is hired.  And last but not least, Checkster drives employment leads and in today's labor market, we need all we can get.

**Official Response from Kara M.:**

> Hi Janine,

Thanks so much for sharing your experience!

**Reviewed Date:** May 28, 2020

**What do you like best about Harver?**

The ease of sending out and how easy the reports are to gain insight.

**What do you dislike about Harver?**

If the formatting could be adjusted, that would be helpful!

**What problems is Harver solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Solving the problem of having to reach out to each reference individually which is very time consuming. The benefits are time efficiency and easy reporting tool to quickly see candidate's strengths and weaknesses.

**Official Response from Kara M.:**

> Hello,

Thanks for the kind words! The great news is that everything can be configured; feel free to reach out to us at Support@Checkster.com if you need any assistance.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 28, 2020

**What do you like best about Harver?**

I like the fact that Checkster is a user friendly software.  Applicants find it easy to enter their information and send emails to their references.

I haven't experienced anything I disliked about using the Checkster system.

Checkster is a huge time saver as opposed to spending hours on the phone trying to check reference for applicants.

  ### 40. Checkster Reference Check

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Staffing and Recruiting | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 28, 2020

**What do you like best about Harver?**

Checkster saves time and is very simple to use when conducting reference check.

**What do you dislike about Harver?**

I don't dislike anything - the website is very straight forward and simple to use.

**What problems is Harver solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I am able to see whether or not a consultant has completed the reference check themselves. It is beneficial to have that upper-hand.

**Official Response from Kara M.:**

> Hello,

We appreciate you providing your input!

  ### 41. Great reference resource!

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 29, 2020

**What do you like best about Harver?**

Ease of use.  Entering candidate information is simple and quick.

**What do you dislike about Harver?**

The  fraud detection.  Never seems to be accurate, and not always relevant if co-workers are being used as references and utilize shared computers, such as our site does.

**What problems is Harver solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Helps with the selection process.

**Official Response from Kara M.:**

> Hello there,

Thanks for your feedback! We have made (and continue to make) upgrades to our fraud detection system, so feel free to get in touch with us at Support@Checkster.com and we can go over this with you.

  ### 42. Decent assessment system

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Banking | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 06, 2019

**What do you like best about Harver?**

The system set-up is fairly simple. There is a nice variety of roles to choose from and a general skills assessment which is helpful when you have a unique role. The different kinds of "reasoning" you add to the test are great for customization options.

**What do you dislike about Harver?**

Integrations could use some work - there are too many steps to create a new assessment for a job. The hiring profiles don't make sense for us and we would rather just have different jobs. You can't tie different jobs to different hiring profiles so they seem pointless. You also cannot edit job titles and that makes it difficult when you make mistakes in setting up the new system. Reporting and analytics leave something to be desired, not much is available. The "types of reasoning" you can choose from need better descriptions.

**What problems is Harver solving and how is that benefiting you?**

These assessments are helpful when screening candidates and going through a lot of resumes to get to a good fit candidate quickly.

  ### 43. Build a company and culture

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Enrique G. | Full stack, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 26, 2019

**What do you like best about Harver?**

We designed a precise brand interview guide for hiring managers to use, and with that, OutMatch offers customized interview questions designed based on the candidate's specific responses. Excellent for the OutMatch team, it is top-notch and reliable, and the people who use it can depend on customer support. It is a completely smooth software to use, its graphical interface can be very relaxed for work, and it easily provides real-time reviews and real-time analysis, which are very accurate and targeted at the favored candidate. It is easy to set up and clear the data, hiring is effective, based on real information as configured.

**What do you dislike about Harver?**

Not all of our positions are standardized, and with our size, it would be advantageous for them to do so. I have to email them. Not all of our positions are standardized, and with our size, it would be advantageous for them to do this. If the interview guide within the Assessment were something the hiring manager could download to type while interviewing, I think it would help tremendously.

**Recommendations to others considering Harver:**

This is a great team to work with. Although the integration with our ATS was smooth compared to previous experiences, it is important to conduct a full test to eliminate all bugs before moving to production. If you are considering a solution that will take hiring to a strategic level within your organization, you should talk to the OutMatch team. While the integration with our ATS was smooth compared to past experiences, it is important to test thoroughly to catch all errors before moving to production.

**What problems is Harver solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are using OutMatch to conduct the initial screening of candidates when we have a large group of applicants. It helps us ask the right and relevant questions during the interview process, making the interview process easier for hiring. OutMatch Assessment managers allow us to select candidates in our recruitment process.

  ### 44. Great visual platform!

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 03, 2020

**What do you like best about Harver?**

Visually appealing and easy to navigate and understand

**What do you dislike about Harver?**

I think it's a great platform for the short time we've been using it.

**What problems is Harver solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I don't currently see too many additional benefits outside of our prior assessment, but it is more visually appealing.

  ### 45. Great way to gage if a candidate will be a good fit

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 31, 2019

**What do you like best about Harver?**

I send candidates the link to take the personality assessment and outmatch will tell me exactly where they did well and were lacking in relation to the sales role

**What do you dislike about Harver?**

For some reason, they always say my candidates are low energy/passion after taking the assessment. There algorithm may be a little off because most of the people I pass through have a lot of energy in their voice. Sometimes you have to take the results with a grain of salt.

**What problems is Harver solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It is helping to gage if the candidates in our recruiting process will be a good fit for the position.

  ### 46. Easy tool to use

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer & Network Security | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 11, 2020

**What do you like best about Harver?**

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Recreational Facilities and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 28, 2020

**What do you like best about Harver?**

Ease of use emails go right to person and easy to read response

**What do you dislike about Harver?**

that you can't complete the reference check under 3 responses

**What problems is Harver solving and how is that benefiting you?**

only benefits. Major time saver

**Official Response from Kara M.:**

> Hello,

Thanks for the feedback! As for completing reports, the good news is that this is a simple configuration. Reach out to Support@Checkster.com and we’ll show you how!

  ### 48. Good tool for candidate screening for larger companies

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Medical Devices | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 05, 2020

**What do you like best about Harver?**

Pre-set profiles and interview questions

**What do you dislike about Harver?**

Not sure it really corresponded well for smaller companies without an existing profile

**Recommendations to others considering Harver:**

Great if you're brand new and looking for some resources for hiring / screening, OR if you're already established and can create really customized profiles based on high performers you already have in the company

**What problems is Harver solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Better standardization and screening of candidates for sales

  ### 49. Delivers ROI

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Martin S. | Director, Talent Acquisition, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 26, 2019

**What do you like best about Harver?**

We recently upgraded platforms from Chequed to OutMatch and the change has been met with positive results. The tool is easy to use for both managers and candidates alike, and integration with our ATS went smoothly (by comparison to past experiences). Candidate results are my favorite thing about OutMatch assessment, especially the accompanying interview guide with dynamic questions that the interviewer is provided. Customization is also a plus.

Of equal importance to us is the team behind the tool - it's that partnership and investment in our success that will ultimately deliver ROI. We genuinely enjoy working with the people at OutMatch.

**What do you dislike about Harver?**

Nothing that comes to mind at this point.

**Recommendations to others considering Harver:**

Make certain to perform UAT before go-live. While integration with our ATS was smooth (by comparison to past experiences), important to thoroughly test to get all the bugs out before moving to production.

**What problems is Harver solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Assessment of incoming talent - we intend to drive consistency across our organization (use of the tool) to make better talent decisions. Similarly, we hope to leverage the development plans from those assessments to help guide learning paths for our new hires.

We are also using Reference Check - there is tremendous opportunity to better leverage both from the perspective of talent quality, as well as potential leads for adjacent talent.

  ### 50. Using OutMatch Assessments for hiring selection process with Twin Peaks. 

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Restaurants | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 23, 2019

**What do you like best about Harver?**

The Assessments can be customized to any position you're hiring for, you can customize Assessments by adding more sections (such as nunmerical reasonin/ P&L etc.) or removing them to make the Assessment faster or more in depth depending on the role. You can compare candidates against one another to see how they rank. We've customized a brand-specific interview guide for hiring managers to utilize and along with that, OutMatch gives you customized interview questions based on the candidate's specific responses. We can also manage succession planning by comparing individuals to different jobs we've created (as they move into more senior roles). Easy to print or access via a direct link without needing a login (helpful for traveling hiring managers). 

**What do you dislike about Harver?**

So far it has been very user-friendly and helpful in the hiring process. If the interview guide within the Assessment were something that the hiring manager could download to be able to type into as they interview I think this would help tremendously. At the moment they're simply printing these guides and returning them, and the return/completion rate is not high at the moment. A computer completion type interview guide would go over much better. 

**What problems is Harver solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It's helping us ask the correct and relevant questions during the interview process, making the interview process easier for hiring managers. In turn, this is helping to make high quality hires. You're able to see how an existing employee ranks for higher level roles when considering a promotion and gives development tools as well.
