Case Study: Flagship Pioneering achieves faster offers, 450+ TA hours saved, and better hires with Crosschq

Flagship Pioneering - Customer Case Study

Flagship Pioneering faced slow, manual reference checks that delayed offers and provided limited, inconsistent data—especially problematic for junior roles with higher turnover. To speed hiring without sacrificing quality, Flagship Pioneering partnered with Crosschq and evaluated automated reference solutions like Crosschq360 (and CrosschqRecruit for talent pooling).

Crosschq implemented Crosschq360 to capture structured, behavioral reference insights and CrosschqRecruit to convert references into active candidates. The results: 82% of reference reports are completed in under 2 days, the TA team saved 450+ hours, and 35% of references opted into Flagship’s talent pool—yielding faster offers, better onboarding data, and reduced sourcing costs thanks to Crosschq.
