Choice Screening vs. SkillSurvey, now part of the iCIMS Talent Cloud

SkillSurvey really is great for reference checks and how to communicate with the contacts provided. It's a great way to easy view the reports, ensure that someone is not filling out their own reference information, and being able to contact passive candidates that have interest in your organization. The templates are easy to generate once you use them a couple times.

• Ease of use
• Quick turnaround of results
• Clear and valuable feedback from references
• Variety of types of reference checks based on job descriptions

Incentivized

• Customizability is lacking, you have to choose from job titles that are already stored in the tool. Some clients don't like this.
• There is no option for someone to opt to do the reference via phone, this could prevent someone from completing the reference.

Support is excellent. I have always received swift and efficient assistance.

I've used a few other reference checking vendors, as well as have references completed through background checking vendors, and our company even tried to create our own reference tool. SkillSurvey is the best we've used yet. They gather the greatest percentage of references, quickly, and with the least amount of "technical issues". Again, the leads are also a bonus.

Incentivized

• The feature to ask references if they would like to be contacted to no prove to be useful or worth the added expense.
• Cannot bulk files
• Quick turnaround time, which is helpful in picking candidates
