Standard practice in reference checking usually looks something like this: you’ve interviewed the candidate a couple of times, and they’ve made it to the reference-checking stage. They have provided you with 2 references, which you cold call. Half the time, it may feel like you are an inconvenience, but some boxes are ticked and that’s the end of the process. But in our experience, to hire great salon staff - and even employees in general - for reference checking to be really effective, the candidate must get their references to ring you.
