Reference Checking & Backchannel for Executive Search Firm Partners with Thrive TRM
Run reference checking & backchannel on autopilot inside Thrive TRM.
The Problem
C-Suite & Board Recruiting reference checks in Clockwork require 5–10 conversations per finalist, plus backchannel checks — and the partner can't keep up across active searches.
What We Build in Thrive TRM
AI manages reference scheduling, drafts check questions specific to the role and candidate, captures notes from Clockwork call, and produces the reference report — partner does the conversation, AI does everything else. Purpose-built for teams running Thrive TRM — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.
