Time-Saving and Fraud-Proof Reference Checking with Xref **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Telecommunications | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 08, 2024 **What do you like best about Xref?** I really appreciate Xref's strong ability to catch fraudulent reference checks, something we were never able to spot in the past. It's a big part of why it's so valuable to us. I find the process a big time saver since it lets us put a reference check on the candidate and the reference, while we can start working on other things. Setting up Xref was very easy, and today, we're quite pleased with how smoothly everything works. Additionally, even without using the integration with Workday Recruiting much, it's quite easy to manually place reference checks through Xref's online platform. **What do you dislike about Xref?** The integration between Xref and Workday Recruiting is not that great, and we don't utilize it very much. **What problems is Xref solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use Xref to complete reference checks efficiently, saving time and identifying fraudulent references, which helps us avoid bad hires and preserve resources. **Official Response from Shieanne Dcruz:** > Thanks for sharing your review. It’s wonderful to hear that you’re making the most of all that the Xref platform has to offer. We agree that one of the significant advantages of using Xref is the ability to flag suspicious candidate activity. Thank you for your review and for choosing Xref to help streamline your reference checking process! ### 2. A simplified, seamless way to obtain references! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 22, 2025 **What do you like best about Xref?** The most helpful thing about XRef is that it is candidate driven. It gives the power to the candidate to be responsible for their references and also aware of the process **What do you dislike about Xref?** The only downside to XRef would be that you can't get the tone of the reference as you would with phone call reference **What problems is Xref solving and how is that benefiting you?** The time it takes to obtain a reference. People are more likely to login even in the evenings when they have a moment to complete a reference rather than playing phone tag for days **Official Response from Lee Seymour:** > We're glad to hear that you appreciate the candidate-driven aspect of Xref and the convenience it offers for obtaining references. To get the most out of our data, please ensure you are utilizing the Sentiment Score and AI Summaries on the reference reports. These features will guide you toward a more programmatic and objective tone of voice when assessing candidates. It's important to remember that when references are conducted via telephone, the most overtly positive ones can sometimes be fraudulent. Xref tracks a far greater number of data points and surfaces unusual activity and benchmark insights, enabling you to make a more informed and data-driven hiring decision. If you still feel the need to make a quick call to the referee, all their contact information is readily available on the report for you to do so. ### 3. User friendliness could be improved **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Vanessa A. **Reviewed Date:** October 30, 2025 **What do you like best about Xref?** I like the reminder emails that go to candidates and referees. **What do you dislike about Xref?** When I click on the candidate the cancel button is on the right hand side. When I click on export and want to exit screen, the cancel button is now on the left hand side. It would be good to have consistency and have the cancel button on the same side of the screen irrespective of the page. I've shared this feedback already. Would be good to review the survey questions when selecting the survey. It's difficult to view them on a different page and then make the selection on a different page, especially when templates have similar titles. There's a bit of troubleshooting needed every now and then as referees see error messages when they click on the link to answer survey questions. would be nice to resolve this and make it seamless. **What problems is Xref solving and how is that benefiting you?** Less time taken to get reference checks done. **Official Response from Lee Seymour:** > Thanks so much for your feedback. Reviewing survey data during selection is on the roadmap. Depending on whether a Call To Action (CTA) button is required, we will shift the "Cancel" button slightly to the left so the CTA becomes more prominent. Rest assured that all feedback on user experience is discussed and prioritised. Please keep providing your thoughts via support or your account manager as we always action great ideas for improvement. ### 4. Easy to set and forget **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Primary/Secondary Education | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 23, 2025 **What do you like best about Xref?** The process of entering the information is very simple, and the system is extremely reliable. Not having to manage the process when you can't get in touch with a referee - We all know how time consuming it can be to get hold of a busy person! **What do you dislike about Xref?** That the completed references don't get sorted in the order they are completed (they are ordered by when they were sent out) which makes it more difficult to find slow returning references. One other improvement would be to have the ability to give the referee a reminder on those occasions when they forget to complete. It would also be good if the 'customisable wording' to the applicant and the referees could be saved by survey. For example we often use XRef for volunteers - and this requires different wording as the standard is obviously employee centric, and we have to go in and change both sections (note to candidate, and note to referee) every single time. It would be great if the Volunteer Survey could be saved with that different wording. **What problems is Xref solving and how is that benefiting you?** Reduces the amount of time we spend conducting standard checks as we don't need to collect the referee details and don't need to chase up referees. It also allows anyone in the team to see where a reference process is at and so we don't need to enter data into a shared sheet. **Official Response from Lee Seymour:** > Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback on your experience with Xref. We're thrilled to hear that you find the system simple to use and reliable, making it easier to manage the reference process. We appreciate your suggestions for improvements, such as sorting completed references and saving customisable wording for different types of surveys. Your insights are valuable to us as we strive to enhance our platform. We will definitely consider these suggestions for future updates. If you have any further feedback or need assistance, please feel free to reach out to us. Thank you for choosing Xref to streamline your reference checks! ### 5. Xref Review – Great Experience! **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sandra H. | Talent Acquisition Lead, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 15, 2025 **What do you like best about Xref?** I’ve had a really positive experience using Xref. The platform is very easy to use and streamlines our reference checking process significantly. What used to take days now takes just hours and the automated system ensures everything is compliant and trackable. Candidates and referees have also responded well to it, often commenting on how simple and convenient it is to complete references. Overall, it’s been a great tool for our recruitment workflow, and I’d definitely recommend it to other talent teams looking to save time and improve consistency in their hiring process. **What do you dislike about Xref?** One area that could use improvement is the scoring system. While the platform provides a numerical score based on referee responses, we’ve found that it can be misleading for hiring managers. The score often appears to be based more on word count or response length rather than the actual quality of the feedback. This can create confusion, especially when a candidate receives a high score despite vague comments. We’ve had to remind our team to look beyond the score and read the full responses to get a true sense of the referee’s feedback. A more nuanced or sentiment-based scoring system would be much more helpful in guiding hiring decisions. **What problems is Xref solving and how is that benefiting you?** Xref has significantly improved our time management during the recruitment process. Reference checking used to be a manual, time-consuming task that often involved chasing referees and coordinating calls. With Xref, the process is automated, fast, and trackable, freeing up valuable time for our team to focus on more strategic parts of hiring. It also helps ensure consistency and compliance, which gives us peace of mind and saves time on follow-ups or corrections. Overall, it’s made our workflow more efficient and reliable. ### 6. Easy to use, clear, quick results, minimal effort, automation **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Staffing and Recruiting **Reviewed Date:** October 30, 2025 **What do you like best about Xref?** It connects with the references for you. No worrying about managing your time, schedule and whatnot to meet their availability. No back and forth. Xref takes care of all that for you. **What do you dislike about Xref?** I wish it could perhaps not send as many automated reminders out to the candidates and/or references, especially on the weekend, it feels slightly invasive and some find it tedious. I wish we could control the frequency of the reminders. Also, I wish we could perhaps have a minimum number of words for some responses. Yes or No answers from references is not very helpful, we need elaboration. **What problems is Xref solving and how is that benefiting you?** Automation is helping us manage or time better, work smarter, not harder. Take some of the busy-work off our hands. **Official Response from Lee Seymour:** > Thanks so much for taking the time to complete this review. Although reminders help us achieve the best turnaround times, they are only sent 24, 36, and 48 hours following the request. If a candidate or referee simply clicks the link and agrees to provide the reference, the system will stop sending reminders and wait for them to complete the process. In this case, we change the status to 'Saved' and allow time for the feedback to be provided. ### 7. Faster than completing references manually with more insights to ensure accurate and factual results **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Natasha A. | Recruitment Advisor, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 15, 2025 **What do you like best about Xref?** References are completed quicker Customer service team has been able to assist understanding life cycle if needed Xref continually notifies candidates and references until completion. This assists as people may forget it one day but see the next days notificaion **What do you dislike about Xref?** In previous update it was able to how specific pages on the main page. Now indicators say 'In progress', 'completed', requested. Personally I found the symbols of the last version easier to understand at a glance. **What problems is Xref solving and how is that benefiting you?** IP tracking ensures accurate references one less thing to personally follow up on Less 'phone chasey' with references means we can actually do our job recruiting candiates **Official Response from Lee Seymour:** > Thank you for sharing your positive experience with Xref. We understand your preference for the symbols in the previous version and will take that into account for future updates. We're pleased that Xref's IP tracking has been beneficial in ensuring accurate references and reducing the need for manual follow-up. ### 8.

Xref has improved the timeframe of getting references done significantly ### 10.

This feature makes the process much more efficient and saves time compared to handling each check separately. **What do you dislike about Xref?** In my opinion, we might have included a few more reference surveys than necessary, but that's an aspect we can adjust if needed. **What problems is Xref solving and how is that benefiting you?** Previously, we had to rely on multiple providers for various services, which was inconvenient.

We understand your concern about the reminders.

Great user interface **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Rosa V. | Recruitment & Careers Partner, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 10, 2025 **What do you like best about Xref?** Not having to conduct our own verbal reference checks, wasting time waiting for refereees to call back. The fact that background checks are included, integrating with our ATS, flagging suspicious activity and their customer service. Easy to use on a daily basis. **What do you dislike about Xref?** I don't like how the surveys are presented. The word count is a little strange and hard to explain to hiring managers what a good reference check looks like. Another piece of feedback received was that responding to the questionnaires can take a long time. Just something to be consious of when building the questions. **What problems is Xref solving and how is that benefiting you?** Ralph has been able to integrate with our applicant tracking system smart Recruiter making it a more streamlined process for recruiters to initiate checks and ensure that we are compliant. **Official Response from Lee Seymour:** > Thank you for sharing how Xref is helping you save time and improve your recruitment process.

Awesome platform! **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Zoe T. | Talent Acquisition Partner, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 28, 2024 **What do you like best about Xref?** What I like most about Xref is that I don’t have to chase down references anymore—referees can complete them at their own convenience, which saves me a lot of time and hassle. I also appreciate the security feature that tracks IP addresses, so I can feel confident about the authenticity of the responses. **What do you dislike about Xref?** One thing I dislike about Xref is that I sometimes lose the personal touch that comes with directly speaking to a referee. While it’s convenient, the automated process can feel a bit impersonal. Additionally, if a referee is slow to respond, there’s not much I can do to speed things up, which can sometimes delay the process. **What problems is Xref solving and how is that benefiting you?** Xref is solving the time-consuming problem of chasing down references and manually coordinating schedules. With referees able to complete their references at any time, I save a lot of time that would otherwise be spent following up. The platform also adds a layer of security by tracking IP addresses, giving me confidence in the accuracy and authenticity of the references. Overall, Xref helps streamline my workflow, allowing me to focus on other aspects of the hiring process. **Official Response from Shieanne Dcruz:** > Thank you for your review, Zoe. We’re pleased to hear you’re benefiting from the advantages of automated reference checking. Many of our customers find Xref’s ability to flag potentially suspicious activity invaluable in making informed hiring decisions. Regarding your comment about losing personal touch due to the automated process, we’d like to tell you more about Xref’s sentiment tool. The tool’s algorithm measures a referee's 'tone of voice'. It picks up on the referee's positive, neutral, and negative language to give you an indication of the candidate's performance, reducing the chance for a reference to be misinterpreted. Interestingly, 65% of reference checks submitted through Xref are completed outside business hours—a feature our customers love, as it eliminates phone tag, and the referee completes the check at their convenience. Thanks again for your review. ### 38.
