Professional Reference

Validity will obtain a professional reference from a noted supervisor or co-worker. We ask 10 standard questions in this search, but we give you the option of upgrading to the Professional Reference Plus, which lets you add three questions of your own.

Here are the 10 standard questions that we ask:

1. How long have you known him/her?
2. What was the applicant's job and the nature of his/her duties?
3. When he/she begins a task, would you say that he/she carries it through to completion?
4. What would you say is his/her greatest strength?
5. What could he/she do to improve their job performance?
6. How did he/she show initiative or leadership in his/her job?
7. Is he/she dependable?
8. How did he/she get along with his/her associates?
9. In your opinion, has he/she ever shown a propensity for violence or dishonesty in the workforce?
10. In your opinion, if you were responsible for the hiring process, would you consider him/her eligible for rehire?
