Reference Check Form

A thorough reference check helps employers verify candidate experience, assess job performance, and identify potential hiring risks before making an offer. TPD’s form provides a structured framework for technical roles across Canada and the US.


Are your reference checks uncovering the insights you need to make confident hiring decisions?

In mining, manufacturing, and semiconductor operations, hiring teams need more than employment history - safety practices, technical competency, reliability, leadership, and industry-specific experience all shape whether a candidate fits.


TPD's Reference Check Form gives HR teams and hiring managers a standardized way to gather meaningful feedback, investigate red flags, and assess candidates against the demands of technical roles.

What's inside:

  • Employment verification: job responsibilities, attendance, reasons for leaving, and rehire eligibility
  • Structured 1–5 ratings and open-ended questions on technical skills, safety, productivity, teamwork, and adaptability
  • Leadership and red-flag probes to surface performance, conduct, and safety concerns
  • Industry-specific questions for mining, manufacturing, and semiconductor roles: FIFO schedules, HSE, equipment safety, quality standards, cleanroom protocols, and ESD compliance
  • Final evaluation and recommendation: clear next steps (Proceed, Proceed with Caution, or Do Not Proceed) plus reviewer sign-off
