Berwyn, PA (PRWEB) April 27, 2016 -- SkillSurvey, Inc., the provider of cloud-based reference checking and credentialing solutions that deliver reliable insights, announced that it has doubled its higher education client base in the last two years with a range of institutions that includes more than half of the Ivy Leagues and a growing roster of community and technical colleges, online institutions and state universities.

In the past two years, more than 42,000 job candidates were reference checked through SkillSurvey’s Pre-Hire 360® providing institutions with detailed feedback from an average of 4 references per candidate.

“Colleges and universities are challenged with finding great candidates who support a diverse environment, master the growing use of technology in learning, and have the potential to be future leaders. We’re proud to be helping more organizations in higher education meet today’s hiring challenges to identify great educators, administrators and staff members,” said Ray Bixler, president and CEO of SkillSurvey.

SkillSurvey began to increase its focus on higher education in 2014, bringing on board its higher education industry specialist, Jann Gillingham, who has led business development efforts and participation in industry forums. The analytics team has also continued to expand survey offerings to include more college and university job roles.

Higher education talent leaders will share their hiring success stories in a LinkedIn webinar, April 27, and at the upcoming College and University Professional Association for Human Resources (CUPA-HR) Eastern Region Conference in Boston, May 1-3 and an upcoming joint meeting of the Southern California chapter of the Higher Education Recruitment Consortium (HERC) and CUPA-HR in June.
