When asked about the win, Xref’s CEO Lee-Martin Seymour said,

“In our early days the Xref team was eager to promote our value to a customer. These days, we trust real, verified Xref users to rate, compare and comment on our product and service. It is essential in building credibility. G2 has, like other referral sites, been a superb platform to build and demonstrate our global capability and credibility. Why wouldn’t the globe’s best reference checking software welcome references on itself?”

Reference checking software helps employers and hiring managers to contact their potential hires’ professional references quickly and efficiently. Reference check solutions can eliminate the need for manual phone calls and email conversations by checking on candidates through surveys or other digital methods.

Xref is easy to use and effective! It's incredibly simple to use - shipping to candidates is easy, and easy for them to input their references' info! We ship so many references to candidates that having an easy one-stop-shop makes life simple.

Review by Andy B, Employee Experience Manager

Xref is an incredible product. It's fast, easy to use and takes a lot of admin out of my role.

Since Xref began in 2009, customers’ feedback has been crucial to improving the software and making it the best-of-breed in reference checking. This ranking and recognition comes as a result of the relentless dedication of the Xref team. 

Thank you to all our wonderful customers who have taken the time to leave a review. If you’re an Xref customer looking to share your feedback on G2, we’d welcome your review here.
