The Xref story

Xref brings ease, security and value to the candidate reference checking process. Via an online, automated platform, it delivers the data-driven candidate insights organisations need to make smart, fast and confident hiring decisions.

The customer-centric solution and team enable the flexibility and scalability Xref’s global clients require to hire the best talent, quickly. Xref was the vision of Lee-Martin Seymour, a frustrated recruitment professional, and Tim Griffiths, an MBA-qualified technologist who teamed up to improve an archaic process that had been conducted in the same way for decades but was no longer consistently delivering on its purpose. To validate the suitability of a candidate.

With passion, ambition and drive, the Xref concept was born.

After launching in Sydney in 2011, Lee and Tim spent five years perfecting the solution for the domestic market. The strength of the platform today was formed from that initial development and growth period.

Xref listed on the ASX in early 2016 and has since expanded into three additional offices. These allow the company to support more than 780* organisations across APAC, EMEA and North America, with the flexibility of the product architecture enabling solutions tailored to the needs and demands of each market.

The solution

Watch the Xref video

==> picture [162 x 115] intentionally omitted <==

Xref puts candidates in the driving seat, offering them transparency and the opportunity to manage the progress of their references.

This candidate-driven approach, coupled with the online nature of the solution, delivers improved efficiency, while collecting more data, protecting clients from the threat of fraud and reducing the risk of any data and discrimination breaches.

The Xref process is completed in three simple steps:

One: a recruiter or hiring manager spends 30 seconds requesting a reference and the candidate confirms referee details via the Xref platform.

  • Two: the referee provides feedback online via any device at time that suits them, usually within 24-32 hrs.

  • Three: the employer has access to a secure, detailed analysis of the reference feedback, which consists of 60% more data than traditional approaches are able to gather.

The result: employers are able to make smarter, faster and more confident hiring decisions, based on a greater volume of more insightful data.
