Case Study: HCS Healthcare achieves 30–40% faster reference checks and accelerated hiring with SkillSurvey Reference (SkillSurvey)

Differentiating Their Staffing Firm by Delivering Reference Checking as a Service

HCS Healthcare is a national staffing firm that fills clinical and non-clinical roles for Fortune 1000 clients and wanted to differentiate by delivering fully reference-checked candidates. Their manual, phone-based reference process was time-consuming, inconsistent, and often limited checks to the interview stage, slowing placements and consuming recruiter time.

HCS implemented SkillSurvey Reference integrated with Bullhorn to automate and mobile-enable reference collection, letting recruiters request checks in about a minute and receive automated updates. The solution doubled the number of references they can solicit, reduced turnaround by 30–40%, delivers an average of 3.1 references per candidate in under a day, and provides unbiased, job-specific reports and analytics—resulting in faster, more consistent hires and a richer candidate pipeline.
