The advantages of using reference depot were as follows:
As a Jobseeker:
* You have a centralized place to house information on your references. * Once a reference giver logs in and provides a detailed reference, it remains in our database, accessible to future recruiters and prospective employers. * Your references can be checked immediately, regardless of the giver's availability. * If you change positions, your reference givers will not have to supply the same information multiple times.
As a Reference Giver:
* You'll reduce the number of times you receive and return calls for references. * You can give the reference at your convenience. * You can provide a reference while the jobseeker's abilities are fresh in your mind .
As an Employer or Recruiter
* Obtaining the reference detail from a web site is quicker and less expensive than calling, and eliminates "playing phone tag" with a reference giver. * You can get detailed references in a timely manner, immediately after it is provided, avoiding losing the placement due to delays in obtaining the reference such as vacations, work travel, time zones, etc. * The formatted reference is emailed to you, eliminating your effort in note taking and transcribing the phone conversation. * You can obtain the list of references free of charge, allowing optional confirmation by phone.
