HR Data & Systems Specialist at a transportation company with 5,001-10,000 employees
Very intuitive, straightforward with a simple, easy to use interface
I was a little frustrated with the screening questionnaire set up. I felt that it could be better structured - we had thousands of questions, and this could make it difficult to find the right ones. It was very easy add a new question, but there was no way to organise or categorise the questions into groups by subject, level, country etc - so trying to monitor and maintain questions and questionnaires was a little bit tricky. At the time I also felt that the support materials could have been improved - Neither I nor the users that made up the global recruitment team had been there at the initial roll out, and so training and reference materials were invaluable. I would often create simple 'how to' videos but it would have been nice to have some more of the basics covered in the Tribepad material. Also some of the material was a little bit dated by the time I came to use it.

Helps improve turnaround times and flags suspicious activity
The Xref feature I find the most valuable is probably the fact that it does the security check to make sure that the references are not dodgy. It's got security settings in the backend that flag suspicious activity straight away. Most referencing systems are just automated emails that go to somebody that's nominated by the potential employee. Anybody could be the owner of those email addresses; it could be their mom or brother. There are no security checks in place with other systems.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The simplicity of use was absolutely incredible."
"The simplicity of use was absolutely incredible."
"It is often quicker than playing phone tag, which happens a lot when you're doing reference check. Anyone that has done them before knows that they can turn into weeks of playing phone tag."
"In the terms of reference checks, it shortens that whole process, which in turn gets you to offer the best candidate before they get offered somewhere else."
 

Cons

"The screening questionnaire was a little frustrating as there was no structure to the question bank."
"I was a little frustrated with the screening questionnaire set up. I felt that it could be better structured - we had thousands of questions, and this could make it difficult to find the right ones."
"It would be great to have a defense industry security check option. To be compliant, we have to have a different tool for that."
