The approach you take and the questions you ask during reference checks are critical to making the right hires. It's not just about the interview(s). Do these sound familiar to you? I know I'm guilty of having asked some variation of them. -- "What did you think about this candidate?" or "Were they any good?" "Would you rehire them again?" --- 👎🏻 Shout out to First Round Capital for these 25 questions to bring more rigor to your reference checking!

Yeah, I feel like if you're using the call to get an understanding of where the candidate will need to grow, how you can be a good manager to them, etc. that is a good use of time. But if you're using it as a check the boxes exercise, might as well save your time!

Thanks for sharing, glad it was helpful 🙌
