What do you like best about Harver?

Ease of use; the front page is laid out so there is nothing that can be missed. It is clean and there is not a lot of random stuff going on. It is easy to see which reports are pending and how many people may have already responded to the check. It is also extremely easy to see those that have been completed. You are able to pull reports once the reference check is complete and they are extyremely easy to read as well. There are ways to save certain profiles of questions that are sent out for reference checks. You are able to build a profile based on the needs of the role and client.

What do you dislike about Harver?

If I had to choose anything, it would be Checkster closing a reference check without all of the participants responding. Checkster only requires two references to create a report, but many of our clients require that there be three references. Then we have to go back into checkster and re open the check with some wasted time in between. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use and no issue technically to report, time saver to say the least and that matters so much when hiring across a wide screen of applicants. Fast results and effortless movement through the hiring process Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Harver?

I cant think of anything I didnt like about it. Maybe more tutorials on usage. Some older members of the staff have trouble following along with the icons and verbiage Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Checkster's simple process ensures the most candid responses!"
5/5
What do you like best about Harver?

The ease of use is wonderful. References like it because they can reply at a time convenient for them...never interrupted with a phone call. The answers tend to be more candid. Email reminders sent automatically allows me to focus on other things. Potential fraud alerts warn us if the candidate is trying to bypass the system. The reports are crisp and clean and very thorough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Harver?

Three people must reply in order for us to even view the references that have come in. I'd like to be able to see the report even if it is not ready to be completed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Empowers Our Hiring Managers"
5/5
What do you like best about Harver?

We use Outmatch Assessment and Pre-Recorded Interview through and integration into Taleo Business Edition. Assessment provides us with some great insights into how an individual will fit in the position, as well as, helps our hiring managers ask great follow up questions in the interview stages. Pre-Recorded Interview is awesome because it takes the work out of phone interviews and allows us to reach many more candidates without the effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Harver?

With the integration the assessment can be sent to the candidate using req-based status change with auto-email but the pre-recorded interview has to be done within the assessment. Would be nice to have another req-based status that triggers the next step and notifies when completed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very Convenient"
5/5
What do you like best about Harver?

The fact that I am no longer wasting time making phone calls. Spending time on those calls, or trying to reach someone without any luck takes time from my other tasks and Checkster frees up that time. It is also very informative, some references may not be completely honest in a phone interview, but feel more comfortable online. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Harver?

The hardest part is getting the candidate to send these out to their references. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Checkster is a great reference checking platform. The Checkster team is always so responsive and helpful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Harver?

I dislike that once I finalize a report for my candidate and a new reference provides feedback, I am unable to finalize the report again to include the new feedback unless more than 1 new person has provided the feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
