Case Study: Lion streamlines reference checking with Xref

Xref Makes the Reference Checking Process Quick and Easy | Lion

Lion, one of Australasia’s largest food and beverage companies, needed a faster and more scalable way to manage reference checking across high-volume hiring. With recruitment spanning entry-level to executive roles and a growing focus on candidate experience, the team wanted to reduce admin and improve turnaround times, and turned to Xref for help.

Xref streamlined Lion’s reference checking with customizable templates, real-time progress updates, and fraud detection, helping the team tailor checks by role and catch suspicious activity when needed. The result was a much quicker, easier experience for candidates and referees, with detailed references typically completed in 24–36 hours and recruiters able to spend more time on higher-value work.
