Last week we talked about celebrated Valentine\u2019s Day the \u201cworld of work\u201d way, and this week we\u2019re talking improved quality of hire via the threat of reference checks. The holy grail of hiring are the high performers\xa0organizations so long to find, recruit and retain forever and ever. The happy "A players" who create and add to your culture and improve the business bottom line. While rigorous screening techniques and assessments are in the midst of a renaissance, multiple interviewers and the threat of real-time reference checks can and are still powerful screeners. Yes, there are legally only a few \u201cname, rank and serial number\u201d questions potential employers can ask, but according to this week\u2019s guest, reference checks are still a powerful \u201ctruth serum.\u201d\xa0 Join #TChat co-creators and hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as we learn more about the power of reference calls with this week\u2019s guests: Chris Mursau, Vice President at Topgrading, and Jean Lynn Director of HR at Home Instead Senior Care.
