Customer Reviews

A Great Resource

There's lots to know about what you can and can't ask, and a lot of that stuff is pretty obvious to an HR person. But when you're doing reference checks on a regular basis, even for an HR person, there's lots of little issues that come up that aren't so clear-cut. I picked this up to improve my own skill for reference-checking at work. I found it easy to understand, explained things in a very sensible way and answered pretty much all the little questions I had, which is exactly what I was looking for. I think it was a great, complete resource.
