RefLynk can help you speedily simplify a pre-screening process. This will enable you to identify risk issues before you schedule workplace meetings. Not only will this pre-screening approach help in your hiring process, but it will also allow for your current workers to complete this screening, or one very similar to it, before arriving at work each day.
Here are just a few of the questions that you might consider asking.
Have you had any contact with anyone that you know has been diagnosed with COVID-19?
Have you had a positive COVID-19 test for active virus in the past 10-15 days?
Have you been ill lately and if so, what have been the symptoms?
Are you caring for someone who is ill?
Do you live in, or have you visited, a place where COVID-19 is spreading?
A client can send this survey OR any customized character reference check out to an individual prior to a scheduled visit or prior to hiring the individual.
RefLynk sends an email and a text message to the candidate and to their references asking the various individuals to complete the pre-screening survey or the character reference check. Recipients will receive daily reminders until they have submitted their self-survey or reference check responses. Once the health survey or reference check has been completed, the client is then able to review the results before submitting them.
This is a time-saving solution that allows you to make informed decisions about the scheduling of on-site interviews and meetings with potential new hires.
