How Crosschq Can Help You Get To Know Your Candidates Without An In-Person Interview

Many companies are moving toward ‘remote offers’, hiring candidates without ever meeting them in-person. To do this effectively, a robust video interviewing process and toolset is key. In addition, reference checking is becoming even more important to gather meaningful insights and a 360° view of your candidate’s skills, attributes, and behaviors especially without an in-person meeting.

Here are 5 pro-tips to use Crosschq to help you get the most out of your reference checks in a world where ‘remote offers’ are becoming more commonplace:
