Wow, we have a new product for the background checking industry.  A company named SkillSurvey had developed an internet/email capability for your end user client to get feedback from an applicant’s references, prior employers and current and prior co-workers about their skills.  

 

• You sell the service to your client
• The applicant enters all the email addresses of the references and a request is auto-emailed (using the applicant’s name as the requester) asking the reference to go to a website and fill out a survey on the applicant.  Their input is quick, easy and anonymous.
• The surveys are summarized automatically and presented in a summary view for your client.
• SkillSurvey bills the client and in turn, pays you 30-40% (depending on volume pricing) of the invoice.
• There are currently over two dozen different job profiles from which to pick and SkillSurvey will custom develop another for your client, if necessary.

 

How simple is that?

 

Facts:

• The average cost of approximately $35.00 to the client is insignificant for what they learn about the applicant.
• On average, 72% of references respond.
• Client receives an organized summary of the responses.
• Other background checking companies are selling this product with significantly increasing success.
• Great reason for you or your sales staff to call your existing customers to chat them up and sell them a new product.
• Great reason to again call those prospects you haven’t been able to crack.  You have something new to talk about and a competitive advantage.
• If you happen to be on a third party software platform, you have no transaction fees for this.
• No start up fees.
