📣 Hear what our clients are saying

“After trialing a number of products in the market we chose Checkmate due to its simplicity, reduction in administration time, user-friendliness and speed. Checkmate is a great tool! It provides both hiring managers and candidates with the best possible experience in completing a reference check.”
Mel - Talent Sourcing Consultant
"Checkmate's easy to use, for both the company and the candidate. Everything is very clear, it gives us good visibility on what is progressing or completed. The candidate gets notifications on their phone, so if they miss the email, they can’t miss a text message! We get great support from the Checkmate team, you always find a solution in 5 minutes, it’s amazing!"
Sophie - HR Coordinator
"Checkmate has made our recruitment process easier, freeing up our time to focus our resources on other areas of the business"
Melaine - Human Resources Advisor
"Will, our account manager, has been an amazing support since day one. Without him, none of this would have been possible. The platform itself is easy to use and has streamlined our processes significantly. We are now looking to expand from just reference checks to full background checks as well. The improved efficiency in our recruitment process has saved us a significant amount of time, especially with global candidates where time zones previously caused delays."
Tom - Talent Acquisition Partner
“CheckMate is a great system that's easy to use. Recruiting in the Philippines often presents language challenges, but CheckMate overcomes this in a very effective way. The main impact for us is the significant time-saving, especially since we don't have a dedicated HR function. CheckMate allows us to perform referee checks efficiently, without the time cost. It's a great product, and we will continue to use it."
Neville - General Manager
“The Checkmate system, alongside their support team, has drastically reduced the time I spend on candidate follow-ups, whether it's for document submissions, right-to-work verifications, or appointment confirmations. The support team's prompt responses to queries or follow-ups during the pre-employment check process have been incredibly helpful, especially when candidates require assistance or technical issues arise."
Chanel - TA Business Manager
“Checkmate's management of our pre-employment checks has simplified our processes, freeing up valuable time for us to concentrate on other recruitment tasks. This is especially valuable during busy periods, making a significant difference in our workload. Overall a great experience. “
Angela - Talent Acquisition Manager
"Everything works when I need it. Great plugins and seamless support mean I can move the dial daily with minimal fuss, achieving high-quality outcomes at pace—the way I love it! Automated LinkedIn, Outlook, reporting, and DocuSign save me time, with almost zero downtime. Checkmate seamlessly integrates with partners and platforms. I’m lost without it; it saves me 2 hours per reference daily! Simple sign-on, unlimited access, and lightning-fast support. Clients appreciate its verified, unedited format, and referees love the convenience of typing on the go."
Vanessa - Talent Aquisition Manager
“I used to dread reference checks—admin-heavy, time-consuming, and taking me away from important tasks but handing over reference checks to you guys has been a game-changer. I save around 12-15 minutes per conversation with referees, plus the time spent typing and transcribing. From scheduling to client communication, everything is much smoother and more efficient. Working with you has truly been a breeze, from the friendly service to the flexibility—it's been a seamless experience."
Carrie - Recruitment Consultant
“The Checkmate online system is easy to navigate, user-friendly, and the team replies to queries efficiently and professionally. I thoroughly enjoy my user experience with Checkmate. Thank you so much! ”
