Case Study: Police Now streamlines high-volume referencing with Xref

Police Now completes 2,500 references with Xref, 97% outside business hours

Police Now, an independent not-for-profit national charity, faced a challenge in manually processing the high volume of reference checks required to recruit diverse leaders into positions of trust within policing. Their manual process was inefficient and unsustainable as they aimed to scale their recruitment efforts. To address this, Police Now partnered with Xref to automate their referencing.

By implementing Xref's automated reference checking solution, Police Now significantly streamlined their process. The results were substantial, including a 75% year-on-year increase in candidates referenced and the completion of 2,500 references, 97% of which were completed outside of business hours. Xref freed up staff capacity, allowing Police Now to work more efficiently and almost double their hires, from 400 to 700, within the same timeframe.
