Xref (XF1) has announced the Phase 1 roll-out of its partnership with CVCheck (CV1).

Xref is a high-growth business in the human resources technology sector which provides an automated reference checking software.

It’s software is used to simplify the reference checking process for employees, thus reducing the time it takes to hire new recruits.

This is used by major companies such as Australian Super, Westpac and Qantas.

CVCheck provides businesses with background checks on people wanting an Australian or international police check.

It has developed a world-class platform which provides a wide range of candidate verification checks across the globe.

The two companies formed a strategic alliance in November 2019, with a view to harmonise each other’s human resource technologies.

As per the agreement, CVCheck’s capabilities have brought an integrated background check solution to the Xref platform.

Likewise, Xref’s reference probing software has been made available to CVCheck’s users.

While both companies are dominant in the industry, the partnership came about from client requests for an end-to-end, full-service platform. 

“Our first customers will go live shortly, and we will soon be able to offer the benefits of the integration in both directions, with Xref becoming available via the CVCheck platform,” Xref CEO, Lee-Martin Seymour commented.

“We have a very exciting journey ahead together and we couldn’t be happier with how it’s started,” he added.

The alliance is currently focused on the markets in Australia and New Zealand, however, international Xref clients will also benefit from the CVCheck integrations since the technology can procure checks from around the world.

Phase 2 of the partnership is already under way and will focus primarily on making further Xref capabilities available to CVCheck users.

“CVCheck and Xref embrace one common attribute: delivering very high-quality customer service that is enabled by technology,” CVCheck CEO, Rod Sherwood said.

“As leading people risk management providers across ANZ, we build trust through the provision of verified information and checks for both employees and contractors,” he added.

As customer launch event took place February 17 which demonstrated the user interface from inside the platform.
