Case Study: Dimension Data achieves faster, more valuable recruiting with SkillSurvey Reference

Amping up the strategic value of recruiting

Dimension Data, a global ICT solutions provider with 25,000 employees in 58 countries, needed a better way to identify top talent in a highly competitive tech market. Traditional reference checks were slow, time-consuming, and often failed to reveal the soft skills and values that mattered most to the business, prompting the company to look for a more strategic approach with SkillSurvey Reference.

SkillSurvey implemented SkillSurvey Reference with the Pre-Hire 360 feature to deliver science-backed, consultative reference feedback tied to role-specific traits. The result was faster, richer hiring insight: feedback now returns in less than half a day, recruiters receive an average of five references per candidate, and more than 30% of references opt into Dimension Data’s talent community, helping build a stronger passive pipeline.
