Recruiter Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Amazing Software - Fast-tracks the process & very reliable!" June 7, 2019 5.0 Pros Dossy makes it so quick and easy to do reference checks throughout the recruitment process. It is always reassuring to my clients that the words are straight from the referees and is a true representation of the candidate. From a referee perspective they love being able to fill out the questionnaire at a time it is suited to them, meaning they can provide as much detail as they can, rather than receiving a call at an inconvenient time and rushing through the call. Cons Nothing not to like, all positive experiences from me. Review Source AD Anh D. Hiring Consumer Goods Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Fantastic user experience and simple to use" June 13, 2019 5.0 Very positive. I would recommend that recruiters use something like this to save their time on check references. Pros Many softwares out there are very hard to use because they have so many unnecessary features which make the UI convoluted. Dossy has a very simple interface, yet enough functionality, for me to get my job done. Cons The phone validation step seems to be a bit inconvenient. But I think that is required to make sure the candidate can't fake their own references. Review Source SA Stephanie A.

Pros I love Dossy because it's a third party, impartial and completely unbiased approach to conducting reference checks on candidates, which makes my job so much easier! The system itself is very easy to use and my candidates and referees find it simple and straightforward and easy to navigate.
