Automatic duplicate detection
As you save, HireScan computes a cryptographic fingerprint to check existing candidates. We flag likely matches so you avoid duplicates.
Next: Request references
From the candidate profile, start a reference request. Choose how many references you want and confirm the question set.
Pro tips
- Prefer recent managers and peers for stronger signal.
- Keep employment dates accurate; referees are tied to roles.
