How it works
From a name to a verdict, without the chasing.
- 01
Add the candidate
Enter who you are hiring and the role. That is all we need to get started - no forms to build, no template to pick.
- 02
Lynda writes and sends the questions
Lynda generates reference questions tailored to that specific role, emails each referee a short questionnaire, and chases the follow-ups. No phone tag.
- 03
Employment history verified
Lynda checks the claimed dates and titles against LinkedIn, so embellished or invented history gets flagged before you offer.
- 04
You get a scored report
In about a day you get a structured, scored report with clear red and green flags. You always make the final call.
Speed
References done without the chasing
The checks that usually get skipped because tracking down old bosses is slow. Lynda emails and follows up for you, so it actually happens.
Signal
Role-tailored questions, verified history
Not a rubber-stamped generic form. Questions written for the specific role, plus employment history checked against LinkedIn.
