Reference
Checking
It is mandatory that candidates
provide APS with a minimum of two verifiable work references
(if possible).
Our Customer Service Coordinators
conduct reference checks, and the results are documented
on our reference check form. Once the reference checking
process is complete, the candidate is reviewed and an
overall evaluation is completed. After the candidate has
gone through the entire recruitment and selection process,
the Customer Service Coordinator determines the best placements
for the candidate.
The candidate is then considered
pre qualified and ready to be presented to APS's clients
for hiring consideration.
