**About
Xref
Pty
Ltd**
Xref
is
a
Sydney-‐based
Human
Resource
Technology
company,
with
a
focus
on
online
candidate referencing
workflow
solutions
that
allow
prospective
employers
to
seamlessly
and
professionally conduct
pre-‐employment
reference
checks
on
suitable
candidates.
Xref
was
founded
in
2010
by
Executive
Directors
Lee-‐Martin
Seymour
and
Tim
Griffiths,
initially
to solve
a
dated,
costly
and
inefficient
process
of
conducting
reference
checks
on
suitable
candidates. To-‐date,
Xref
has
not
raised
any
external
capital
to
fund
the
business
and
has
been
cash-‐flow
positive since
inception.
The
Xref
platform
has
experienced
246%
compound
annual
user
growth.
Xref
set
out
to
bring
candidate
referencing
into
the
21st
century.
Prior
to
Xref’s
innovative
solution, industry
best
practices
were
cumbersome
and
expensive.
Human
resource
(HR)
managers
spent
on average
two
hours
to
source
and
analyse
a
single
reference
check.
Not
only
was
this
process inefficient,
but
it
also
opened
up
companies
to
security
breaches,
discrimination
and,
potentially, fraud.
As
a
result,
recruiters
and
HR
managers
tended
to
outsource
this
function
to
aggregators
and

call
centres,
creating
an
additional
cost
to
the
recruiting
process.
Xref’s
fully-‐automated
cloud-‐based platform
allows
recruiters
/
HR
managers
to
safely
and
securely
complete
this
function
in
a
fraction
of the
time
it
traditionally
took.
It
takes,
on
average,
approximately
30
seconds
for
the
employer
to make
a
reference
request
and,
on
average,
it
is
completed
and
returned
within
24
hours.
In
addition, Xref’s
reports
are
highly
analytical
and
provide
insightful
comparable
data.
On
average,
users
of
Xref’s technology
have
experienced
a
98%
success
rate
with
60%
more
data
collected.
Xref’s
easy-‐to-‐use
platform
and
simple
business
model
allow
users
to
purchase
Xref
credits
to
use
at their
discretion
based
on
the
individual
hiring
needs
of
each
organisation.
