In the past, hiring managers using a telephone to solicit feedback from job references yielded a low, 50% return rate. Today, online reference tools and surveys boast a reference return rate of 85-90%! For job seekers, this makes furnishing quality referrals to potential employers a necessity.

“Feedback is accumulated by various ways,” says guest expert, Ray Bixler. Metrics evaluated by employers include the number of references a job seeker offers, how long it takes an applicant to enter the reference names and what feedback the references supply. Job seekers can improve their results by being prepared with complete information about their references and entering the information as soon as the prospective employer sends the email.

Tips for Job Seekers:

• Meet with your references to ask their permission to use their name and to let them know what is expected of them.
• Have your references ready in advance, as the reference process is moving ahead in the hiring process; sometimes references are requested before the first interview is granted.
• Give five references, with at least two being former managers.
• Fill out an employer’s reference request completely, and as soon as possible after receiving it.

Remember, a prepared reference has time to think about all the great things you have done!
