The problem
Good technicians get other offers within days. Referee calls sit on a busy service manager's list for a week, the notes are a few words on a sticky note, and the candidate takes another job.
How it works
- Starts only after the people advisor confirms the candidate's consent
- Calls or emails each referee and books a better time when needed
- Asks the set questions for the role, nothing else
- Writes the answers down word for word and sends them to the hiring manager
- Never scores or recommends a candidate
What it connects to

- AgentPaula Grant, his workshop foreman in Hamilton, was done on Tuesday and her answers are in your inbox. Steve Morrow is booked for Thursday at 10am.
- Tom (service manager, Takapuna)What did Paula say about him working on his own?
- AgentHer words were: "He ran his own bay on servicing and brakes from his second year, and he'd ask before starting anything electrical." The full write-up is on REF-0418. Whether that fits the role is your call.
