Relationship Overview
In what context did the reference giver and the candidate work together? Was it a small start-up or a large company? Did they work closely together in this context? These questions may be difficult to answer within the recruiting process. For instance, a company that was a small start-up back then may be a large company today. Our pre-defined contextual questions are designed to help you find out what the working context of the candidate and reference giver was like.
