SkillSociety: Voice-First Reference Checks for Faster, Fairer Hiring
In today’s talent market, traditional reference checks often feel like an endless game of phone tag—slow, inconsistent, and prone to bias. SkillSociety’s Voice‑Based Reference Checks flip the script: referees leave secure voice messages at their convenience, AI analyses every nuance, and recruiters receive clear, structured summaries. No scheduling hassles, no chasing calls—just faster, fairer insight.
Why Voice‑First Matters
Reference checks are still the gold standard for validating a candidate’s past performance, but manual calls slow everything down. Moving to asynchronous voice means:
- Authentic feedback – Referees speak naturally, revealing tone and enthusiasm that written forms miss.
- Data‑rich insights – AI extracts sentiment and key themes in real time, flagging concerns or standout praise.
- Freedom from phone‑tag – Recruiters stop leaving voicemails; referees respond whenever it suits them.
How SkillSociety Voice References Work

Referees receive a secure link and answer a short, customisable questionnaire by voice on any device—no login, no scheduling.
2. AI‑Powered Analysis
Natural‑language and acoustic models analyse sentiment, confidence, and content, producing an easy‑to‑read report that highlights competencies and culture fit while flagging inconsistencies.
3. Structured Summaries in Minutes
Recruiters receive concise dashboards—waveform visualisations, keyword clouds, and risk flags—ready inside SkillSociety or the ATS you already use.
4. Seamless ATS Integration
SkillSociety plugs into 40+ ATS platforms (Lever, Workday, JobAdder, Teamtailor, and more) so reference data flows straight into your existing workflow.
