What do you like best about Crosschq?

The user interface is sleek and easy to use. It has been very helpful in adding information about our new hires that we can use in our hiring decisions and beyond. There are also other features of the platform, like a sourcing component, and the automated prospect alerts has been great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Crosschq?

I think there is room for improvement to remember the roles you add in for your company, if they are outside of what is listed. But our support team and ease of use has made it a platform I enjoy! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Crosschq?

What we love most about working with Crosschq is how remarkably efficient their platform is for both our team and our candidates. The streamlined process saves us time and effort while ensuring an excellent candidate experience. Additionally, the presentation of candidates after their references are completed is outstanding. The detailed and organized insights give us a clear and comprehensive view, making it easy to make confident hiring decisions. Crosschq has truly elevated our reference-checking process! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Crosschq?

The unique login per user makes integration with our application tracking system a little tricky but we found a favorable workaround. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Renee Streck of Crosschq

Stephanie, so excited to see that Crosschq is helping you focus on quality of hire without sacrificing meeting your demanding timelines.

Data security is a top priority for all of us at Crosschq - glad you were able to find a solution with the unique log ins and your ATS.

Thanks so much for sharing your detailed feedback!

What do you like best about Crosschq?

As a leader of a very small HR team that does a lot of recruiting, this is one of my favorite tools. It saves us so much time with reference checks, and the surveys are actually really insightful. We have made hiring decisions based off the feedback, and it has saved us from hiring the wrong candidate many times. I also love that the references can opt to be passive candidates as well - we have hired a few folks that way! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Crosschq?

The only thing is I wish I could push potential candidates from the referrals into our ATS. I also wish that they could also upload a resume. Not a huge deal, but would help with recruiting them! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Renee Streck of Crosschq

Jaci, we are honored to be one of your favorite tools! Allowing leaders to make insightful hiring decisions is what we're all about! (Also love that you've made hires from reference opt-ins!)

Crosschq does support automatic prospect uploading for many ATSs, however, not all ATSs support this feature within their APIs. In that case, there is the option to download potential prospects into a CSV file and upload them into the ATS manually. If you are unfamiliar with this and need any help, your CSM or our Support Team would be happy to help!

What do you like best about Crosschq?

It offers easy of access for both customers and applicants. The recruiting metrics for overall score from referrals is excellent and the security of knowing when there maybe potential for fraudulent submissions is a plus. The filing process and the format of the reports is easy to comprehend and all the information is stored in one system or can be exported to private files. It is overall a useful tool for any company and HR team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Crosschq?

I would like for the system to have a set elapsed timeperiod installed for completion of the references by applicants (14-21 days is more than enough time). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Renee Streck of Crosschq

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience - love to hear your overall score from reference referrals is excellent and you're getting value from the fraud detection.

Appreciate your thoughts on the timing to conclude references - if you haven't already, you can find settings to adjust this here by following this knowledge base article: https://support.crosschq.com/knowledge/report-auto-conclude. If you have any questions, our Support Team is more than happy to help.

Thanks again!

What do you like best about Crosschq?

You get to know how your candidates view their own work and how it stacks up against what their colleagues experience working with them. It's been very helpful to know what areas we may need to offer additional support to employees who've joined our team. There are also security measures in place that have kept us from hiring people who were dishonest throughout their hiring process. Hiring is important at every company, but especially at a small startup where every role has a significant impact on the organization; Crosschq is super helpful to our team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Crosschq?

It's easy to use, so I only dislike the inability to edit the pre-made templates that Crossq360 offers. You can add additional questions, but I wish it were possible to edit the existing questions to create something new. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Renee Streck of Crosschq

Love to hear how you're using Crosschq - comparing the self-reference to the references and offering additional areas of support to new hires. Fabulous! Wishing your start up continued success.

If you haven't already, we are more than able to help set up custom surveys with you. Your CSM or our Support Team can assist you with this right away!

What do you like best about Crosschq?

Our ATS system provides weak data and minimal insights but TalentWall from CrossChq provides detailed, real time, actionable insights for our recruiting team. The data and insights give us long term and short term trend analysis and enables recruitment and HR to be nimble. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Crosschq?

I wish we could correlate the hiring plan with compensation ranges in our ATS to track our spend against hiring plan while including cost decay based on time of year the new hire starts. Heard its in the works but only thing I could think of. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Renee Streck of Crosschq

Matthew, thanks for the review! Happy to hear you're getting actionable insights, that's what we're all about!

Appreciate your feedback on the correlation - Although this is not an out of the box feature currently, Crosschq's solutions team can always help by completing complex offline analysis. Just reach out to your CSM or the Support Team and they're happy to help!

What do you like best about Crosschq?

What I like best about CrossChq is everything that is happening behind the scenes. It only takes a minute to set up a reference check for a new candidate and the only other thing I need to do is wait for the results. I look forward to our monthly meetings on the product and how it is working for us. I also like that they consider my suggestions for future improvements. I also appreciate the IP address and detemining if there could be fraudalent activity, as this has really helped the Supervisors determine if they want to move forward with a candidate. This product is very easy to use and we only needed an hour meeting to get started using the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Crosschq?

I would like to see Exiting Interviews including in our original pricing, and not an additional fee. Other than that, I do not have any dislikes about CrossChq. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Renee Streck of Crosschq

We really appreciate you sharing your detailed experience of Crosschq! We love to get feedback from users like you to continue evolving Crosschq for you and other customers - thank you!

What do you dislike about Crosschq?

I do wish the tool didn't present a "thumbs down" graphic for a reference saying they'd recommend a candidate based on the job Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Renee Streck of Crosschq

Thank you for your review, Gamal! Wonderful that you're getting value from the automation and fraud detection. Thank you for the feedback, we have shared it with the Product Team!

What do you like best about Crosschq?

Crosschq makes references easy! No more hours of playing phone tag, leaving voicemails, sending emails, etc. You send an invite to your candidate, they add their reference contact info, references add their comments, and ta-da! The reference is complete! There are also features that detect fraud, like if two references are using the same IP address, which is a great feature, allowing HR teams to dig a bit deeper if needed. The system is easy to use, integrating with our ATS, so implementation was a breeze. The reference check reports come out so clean! We have often fallen back on our reference checks several times for our internal and external audits, because our auditors require either background check or reference checks for all of our hires, and we can provide that with Crosschq! Our CSM is so kind and speedy to respond, pricing is fair, and this is overall a top-notch reference check product if your org is required to run them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Crosschq?

Nothing! We are very happy with Crosschq. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Renee Streck of Crosschq

What do you like best about Crosschq?

I've worked with Crosschq across companies for roughly 3 years and have really enjoyed the experience. The platform is intuitive, easy to use, and simple to modify. They continuously roll out features that continue to make the product better and follow feedback shared by their customers. The CSM team is incredibly helpful and quick to respond. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Crosschq?

I'd love to see the scale of performance for reference checks evolve in time. At this time it is not editable at an organization level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Renee Streck of Crosschq

Love hearing your experience over 3 years and across different companies! Glad you find it intuitive and innovative, which is what we strive for.

Thank you for sharing your feedback! Our default rating scale is built on extensive testing and years of experience conducting millions of reference checks annually. This consistency helps ensure reliable insights and supports our team in providing effective assistance to references. That said, we understand the importance of flexibility, and we offer the option to collaborate on fully customized surveys, including custom rating scales, to meet specific needs. If you'd like to explore this, our team would be happy to help!

Thanks again for taking the time to leave us a review!
