Prior to losing my job, I had no idea that your service even existed. In fact, the mere thought of verifying the quality of my own references never even crossed my mind. Thank goodness, a friend referred me to your firm. The research your company did uncovered one bad reference – the reason I wasn’t receiving any job offers. This information allowed me to strategically avoid this individual and successfully land the next position I interviewed for.
Your service saved my husband’s career. Even though he won his lawsuit for wrongful termination and age discrimination, his references were keeping him from doing what he loved, working. Your company provided us with the evidence we needed to avoid another court battle. Thank you.
I would like to address you as a satisfied (very satisfied) customer. You are effective and efficient as well as being service-oriented. I have had two separate matters with your firm, and in each case I have been impressed. In each case, your work has directly contributed to the result – support of my client’s case.
THANK YOU! Your service answered the dreaded for me: what would my past employer say about me, since the job ended badly. I was worried but then very relieved to get your report that they were standing by the law…no details. I am able to sleep at night now! It is well worth the fee for this information to be made available to those of us trying to move on! Thank you so much for a great service and a thorough job!
This reference told me that they would only say great things about me, and to use them. Your service provided me with the information that I hoped I would not get. My reference was not helpful and did not say anything great about me. It may be company policy, but it is not being truthful to tell me something different. Your service was a great help to me.
Working with (the Allison & Taylor consultant) was GREAT! She spoke to me and was very understanding when it came to my concerns about my employment record. She was helpful and so were the reports. I can feel safe that my former employer isn’t destroying my character or employment history. Thank you.
I did not have (direct) correspondence with my consultant but I feel they did a great job and in a timely manner. I thank you for all the information and plan on doing business with you in the future.
There are many e-reference check website services. I know now I made the right assessment to choose this one. I would definitely use it again. I am completely satisfied.
I should have used your service years ago when I first looked into it.
It’s one thing to know I had a bad reference, another to be able to do something about it. I’m (finally) employed again after many months of searching. Many thanks!
I’d given up hope that I would ever be able to do anything about my past boss who has been badmouthing me. Thanks to the “Cease and Desist Letter” he has been stopped. Thank goodness I found out about your service – I would have contacted you years ago if I’d known your services existed.
It’s one thing to suspect I had a ‘bad apple’ in my reference barrel, another thing to confirm it. And then, being able to do something about it with your Cease & Desist letter – I finally feel like I’m getting my career back. Thanks so much!
