Best Addition to our Process Since We Started!
Since using Checkmate, we've been able to hire more candidates, take on more clients, and most importantly spend time in more pressing areas. To date we've turned 26 referee's into candidates that we've now placed - through them showing interest and openness for new roles within the questionnaire!
CONSBest addition to our process since we started!

Excellent Product
Excellent. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] responds quickly and is able to help with any minor issue we have had with our own internal systems. More than helpful and very generous when we were trialing the product to ensure it worked for part of our organization that we were trialing it on.
PROSThe product is easy to use, you can customize your template and you don't spend hours of wasted time try to contact the referee as they can complete the template in the time that suits them. The time it traditionally takes for references to be completed has reduced significantly.
CONSJust the number of reminder messages - but Checkmate is very open to feedback and looking to always improve processes.
Reason for choosing Checkmate
Cost.

Increased user experience and reduced follow up required
We have seen a number of benefits through CheckMate including, but not limited to cost savings, increased candidate and referee experience, reduced follow up time due to automatic reminders via email and text to candidates and referees, openness to introducing new features based on customer feedback. We have also seen an increase in completion of reference checks.
PROSEase of use for both internal users and candidates and referees has been a big positive. The mobile optimisation available to candidates and referees leads to a positive user experience. Ability to build customised reference templates for specific roles enables us to have a unique approach. CheckMate is integrated with our applicant tracking system which allows information to be available through one source. The support we have received has been fast and efficient. The CheckMate team are open to suggestions and feedback and are able to implement changes quickly. The pricing of the software is extremely competitive in the market.
CONSAnything extra we have needed has been implemented through new releases over time.

Cost-Effective, Easy and Fast!
We hire high volume roles and we have seasonal variance so this is a great tool to assist with streamlining the process for everybody, it's easy for the candidate and referees which is important to us.
PROSI really liked how easy it was to get set up and start using the system, we had urgent roles we were hiring and we could get these references completed within a few hours. The ability to control our brand was a really unique cool feature, and being able to design our questionnaires allowed me to tailor them to the unique roles we often hire. Being able to do everything via SMS and on mobile is also an awesome feature! The service was really helpful, and always available to answer any questions I had.
CONSThe only con was that the system didn't integrate with our recruiting system, however, this is currently being built and expected in the coming months.

Fantastic Referencing Software
Fantastic - [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] has very much partnered with us to ensure we are receiving the best possible experience and maximising the software to its fullest.
PROSThe ease of use of the software, the ability to integrate with our ATS system, the local and hands on account management support, and not to forgot how user friendly it is for both candidates and referee's to complete.
CONSNothing springs to mind. I think the software is brilliant and [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] is absolutely open to receiving feedback on possible tweaks.
Reason for choosing Checkmate
The cost was a lot more affordable than other referencing software in the market and from a customer point of view I think having local support makes a huge difference too.

Best pound for pound reference checking software
We were able to customize it to our very specific reference process. We also were able to brand it specifically to our company.
CONSThe price is still very affordable, but in the first few months of using we saw several price hikes.

Great online tool for automating reference checking
The overall experience using Checkmate was extremely positive. From their easy-to-use platform to their extensive range of features; including a custom form builder, industry-specific questionnaires, mobile notification and live sharing, to their extensive report generated at the end of the process. Checkmate takes care of the entire process. All I did was enter a few details to begin with and their system did the rest.
CONSTo be honest, there wasn't really anything to fault about this product.

Save time, money and effort for everyone involved in the reference checking process
We found Checkmate to be super efficient and cost-effective solution for streamlining the reference checking process. By using this product, we've managed to save an incredible amount of time wasted chasing both candidates and potential referees. Every aspect of the product was designed with the hiring managers, candidates and referees best interests at heart.
CONSThe only minor downside was that the product didn't integrate with Talent App Store, but that is a feature they are going to be rolling out later this year.

Intuitive, Flexible, and Effective
I really enjoyed how intuitive and efficient the software is to use throughout the entire process. I work in a very fast-paced environment where time is money, and Checkmate's simplicity and ease of use is a game-changer. Being able to easily and quickly create checks, and then monitor everything in a simple dashboard is great.
CONSI have nothing negative to say about the software.

Review
Checkmate has really helped our hiring strategy, we've started conducting the checks earlier in our recruiting process, allowing us to use the checks in support of our final decision, rather than when we only reference checks upon offer. By doing so we've been able to use the insight from the check alongside other assessment tools to make more informed hiring decisions
CONSWe weren't able to have multiple users, however, I was told this is being developed in the coming months.

Great product!
We recruit in a high volume and high turnover workforce and Checkmate has really helped to streamline an important part of the process. It's reduced our talent teams workload and turn around time considerably. Also, being mobile our candidates and referees can do everything from their phone which is a huge help.
CONSWe'd like to be able to automate follow up questions if/when needed, which I believe is a feature they're looking into building
