Our pricing is flexible to suit your business needs.

We price on a per-credit basis, which means you only pay for the references you conduct. One credit will allow you to request as many references as are required for a single candidate.

If you have other requirements or a different payment method would be more suited to your business, let us know and we'll be happy to discuss an alternative approach.

Used Free Trial - Easy to use, but doesn't do anything I couldn't do myself

Reviewed a year ago
Pros

Free trial allowed reference checks for one person. It's super easy to use.

Cons

Basically, it sent the references a list of questions, then let me know when the references responded, and showed me the responses. I could do the exact same thing myself in the same time and less cost. I thought it would be more robust.

You cant afford NOT to use XRef

Reviewed 3 years ago

I took time for us to get uptake from the consultants, and we do not use XRef every time, but it is essential tool for us when we are refencing contractors, and high volume roles, not as relevant for our executive search business.

Pros

1. Saving consultants time (and hence us money) 2. Turnaround of references 3. Quality of references 4. Pricing model (not Saas)

Cons

1. Getting consultants to change the way they work, which was helped by XRef hiring a customer success manager 2. Not having the opportunity to business develop when reference checking

Vendor response

Thank you for your great feedback, Paul. We are happy to hear that you are experiencing the benefits of automated referencing and that it has saved valuable time for your company. We also offer a service called People Search which can be used as a powerful business development tool. Please reach out to your dedicated account manager to learn more or to have People Search turned on. Thanks again for your feedback, Paul.

Ease of use is the best!

Reviewed 10 months ago
Pros

We have always been happy with the services of Xref. The ease of use, the automation and customisation are just a few of the many benefits of this platform.

Cons

I don't feel there is anything we're missing in the software and we are very happy with all the features. The only potential negative is that the product isn't the cheapest.

Vendor response

Thanks for leaving us such a wonderful review, Andy. Like you, many of our customers find that using Xref to automate their reference checking process enables them to become more efficient and focus on other areas of their role that are of more interest or more value for your organisation. Thanks again for your review.

Makes interviewing and employing staff abit easier and safer

Pros

This software is great in the middle part of our employment process. In the first instance, we get to see how quickly our client responds to our requests. Their response is up to their referrees. The system is great at reminding our clients to respond or chase up their referees. The reports are easy to obtain The security of clients and referees using the same IP address is an added bonus

Cons

Cost?.... sitting on the fence....it is quite expensive but great information

Vendor response

Thanks so much for this wonderful review. We appreciate you taking the time to provide your feedback.

Great product that's delivered the most value!

Reviewed 3 years ago

Positive investment and one that has delivered great returns including more time back in my day.

Pros

The product is not only easy to use but functional.

Cons

We have had a few referees who have not enjoyed the online reference checking process but that's nothing to do with XRef but rather the users.

Vendor response

Thanks so much for your review. We appreciate that online reference checking can definitely be a new or challenging experience for some. We hope that the overall efficiency and ease of the experience outshines those situations.
