Reference Checking Services
Fast, Professional, Affordable
Our job reference checking services will help you to get the job you want. If you aren’t 100% sure your past employers will give you positive reviews, using a professional reference checking firm is highly recommended. Firms such as Allison Taylor can check your job references and employment verification before you submit them. Unchecked references can provide bad reviews that may dramatically affect your future, and shouldn’t be left to chance. With job reference checking services, you have an accurate, reliable way of confirming that your references will improve your chances of landing a job, rather than hurt them.
We are a professional reference checking firm that have been featured in a wide range of major publications such as ABC and Forbes. We provide written, comprehensive employment reviews of professionals who are being considered for employment. Our reference checking services come in three different levels, and our offer depend on the professional level of the candidate and the amount of information to research, including Professional, Executive and Teacher.

*Important Exceptions:
1. There are some companies that prohibit the release of information other than the employment verification of title and dates of employment. Our professional reference checking staff always applies appropriate pressure to every job reference that is checked, in an attempt to gain as much information as is possible. Even when a company follows a strict policy to only confirm dates and title of employment verification, other questions, especially the reason for separation and overall recommendation are still always asked. Our job reference checking service fee is still applicable as our professional reference checking research offers the knowledge of precisely what the company will divulge to a prospective employer as a reference. In addition, each professional reference checking report will address the manner in which this information was provided, including timeliness of the contact, the tone in the reference’s voice, and more (e.g. Did the reference return our calls or did we leave repeated messages that were never returned?).
2. A second job reference checking service exception exists when a job reference is being evasive. There are some job references that will not return our telephone calls and despite our staff’s attempts, we are unable to pass a strong secretary or voice mail system. Our professional reference checking team always calls and/or leaves a minimum of four messages detailing the reason for our call. Should the job reference not return the call from our job reference checking service, we feel that they are saying they do not care to provide job reference information on that candidate. Of course, should we discover that a job reference is traveling, ill, on vacation, or for some reason not available, we will notify our job reference checking service client of this and make further attempts as soon as the job reference is once again available. Candidates need to look at this professional reference checking research from the perspective of a potential employer. Note that it is unlikely that a prospective employer will attempt to reach a job reference more than two or three times. Therefore, the information our job reference checking service obtains, or the lack of a response, is still crucial information that a candidate will need to take into account when making a transition.
