•    The automated employment reference checking platform and solution uses the candidate’s contact information from their application within the HRIS system and requests the contact information of their references (minimum of 3, two must be supervisory). 
•    If not integrated with HRIS system, the hiring manager enters candidate’s contact information into automated employment reference checking platform and solution.

•    If not integrated with HRIS system, the hiring manager logs into automated employment reference checking platform and solution to access the summary results and answers to the questions. 
•    Once all the responses are gathered from the reference checks, the hiring manager uses the results as input to finalize the hiring decision.
