More than 3 decades of combined Human Resources experience

I would never have guessed that my old boss was making me sound like a criminal! I left after discovering that they were short paying the IRS on 941 withholding tax. I am contacting an attorney. Thank you for uncovering this!

Our Founder & Our Mission

Our founder started CheckMyReferences to stop what had happened to him, from happening to anyone else!

With years of experience in staffing, recruiting, and human resources, Allen was recruited to be a partner in a start-up executive staffing firm. As co-founder he recruited the entire staff, designed and installed state of the art office technology and authored all office policies and procedures. After a super successful launch and almost 12 months of incredible growth, he was stunned to be let go by the CEO three days before his stock vested. Not only did this save the company a small fortune in equity, he was replaced by someone making less money. Allen’s replacement was saying really negative things to the staff about him. This conflicted with his exit agreement that indicated he would receive a positive reference.

Allen asked a friend to call the company to get a better understanding of what was being said. The person who replaced him claimed to have managed Allen for 6 months (they had never met), and lied about his work performance and management style.

Lawyers refused to accept his reference check evidence because his friend that made the call was NOT an independent 3rd party gathering the information. Allen decided to use all of his years of HR expertise and create a cost effective service to help others in the same situation.

If you are thinking about having a friend make the call, please remember CheckMyReferences reports are used in court!

I never knew a service like yours existed. My outplacement counselor suggested I find out what was being said about me. I am glad I listened to her.
