Reference Provider Terms

Effective Date: August 6, 2021

Thank you for providing a reference using Crosschq’s software platform. These Reference Provider Terms (“Terms”) will apply to you when you provide a reference for a candidate. By providing a reference you are agreeing to these Terms (if you do not agree with these Terms, you should not use our software platform). Note that we may modify or change these Terms and/or our software platform from time to time at our discretion.

Your Use of the Crosschq Solution

To provide a reference on our platform, you must be designated as a reference by a candidate and will be asked by Crosschq (on behalf of the candidate) via email and/or SMS to complete a reference survey.  While completing the survey, you agree to provide honest and accurate information on the candidate. Once you have completed the survey, you will submit the information you provided to Crosschq. After you submit your survey, you may choose to opt-in as a job prospect (solely at your discretion). If you opt-in you are agreeing to being contacted by companies that are interested in presenting you with job opportunities. Opting-in does not guarantee that any companies will contact you. 

Note that when using the Crosschq software platform your personal data will be handling and protected in accordance with our Privacy Policy (which you can review here).
