## get our reference check question template.

Checking references is a vital opportunity to verify your candidate’s background and get a full picture of them before making a job offer.

But to get as much value as possible from them, you need to ask the right questions. We’ve taken the work out of preparation with our reference check question template.

It’s in Word format, so just have it open during your next reference check and get the prompts you need to ask insightful questions and make notes.
