Reference Check Toolkit

What’s inside

Prepare reference conversations and organize the resulting notes with four components:

• A pre-call worksheet for candidate context, reference relationships and the questions you want to resolve.
• A library of 30 numbered questions covering performance, working style, feedback, role fit and follow-up probes.
• An example outreach message and guidance on approaching additional references.
• A reference scorecard with an overall rating, evidence notes, confirmed and unconfirmed dimensions, concerns and decision implications.

Format: One 9-page PDF containing the worksheet, question library, outreach example and scorecard.
