Recruitment is now automatic
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Xref Reference from other similar products?
With Xref we choose the best staff, because we use the different options it has, the verification of the information is reliable, it integrates very well with Greenhouse, each decision we make makes us find the ideal person for the position we need. We acquire the talent we have in mind, the different options shown are also good, but with Xref we succeed, because we save a lot of time choosing the most suitable candidate for us.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I quite like that it is a very fast and automatic software with the data of the applicants. Xref has a solid platform, we can make the right decision because we have all the information at hand, also when we have a problem we only contact the support team and they help us. The data is accurate and very reliable, previously our personnel acquisition system was a bit slow, but Xref has allowed us to be more efficient.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Previously it had several vulnerabilities, but it is constantly improving, the developers have taken care to improve all the flaws and turn them into virtues thanks to listening to us. Recruitment has been more successful over time and we are very happy, because with Xref we choose the best candidate and the results in the short, medium and long term are excellent.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
The hiring process is now more automatic with Xref, before it was manual and very slow, because we did not have any such software. I believe that it is a software that every company should have, because it makes the choice the correct and most favorable one, in addition the different functions of this software and the constant renovations carried out by the developers of Xref allow it to be a very reliable software for recruiters.
