Xref Market Opportunities, M&A and Geo Expansions
Xref's cloud-based software allows companies to harness the benefits of technology, supporting timely, data-driven decisions on talent acquisition and retention while reducing employers exposure to security breaches, discrimination, and potential fraud.
Xref Risks and Challenges
In an increasingly competitive market for talent, that now has a global span, the ability to attract, onboard and retain the best people requires efficient, flexible and robust recruitment processes. A lack of standardization in reference checking which simply cannot be guaranteed using the phone method - leaves organizations open to risk and these findings have certainly validated our belief in the real need for improved efficiency in recruiting to avoid fraud, hiring based on inaccurate data and ultimately, money wasted on critical stages of the hiring period.
Xref Ecosystem, Partners, Resellers and SI
