Case Study: Weir Minerals Australia reduces time to hire with Xref

Weir Minerals Australia cuts reference checks to 24 hours with Xref

Weir Minerals Australia, a manufacturer of heavy-duty mining technology, faced significant hiring challenges in a candidate-short market. With numerous open roles and a small talent acquisition team, their manual reference checking process was slow and inefficient, delaying their ability to secure top talent quickly. To streamline recruiting, Talent Acquisition Manager Shelby Lindsay sought a solution from vendor Xref and implemented their online reference checking platform.

By implementing Xref, the team automated their reference checks, eliminating time-consuming phone tag and manual compliance checks. This solution drastically reduced their hiring process by days, saving hours each week and allowing the team to be more strategic. The results included 95% of references returned completed, with an average turnaround of just 24 hours. Xref also provided valuable fraud detection and helped build a talent pool from referee opt-ins.
