　　参考范文范文：

　　Hiring someone is a time-consuming process, and in order to find appropriate employees, these days many employers would also choose some additional ways to know more about applicants after interviews. My view is that while contacting the applicants’ previous employers and searching their social media seem like good options, giving them one-month probation period is the best additional method.

　　For newly recruited workers, one-month probation can be a trial period, which could provide more realistic working situations and offer more time to test these applicants. In most cases, the interviews could last for only few hours, so the information obtained from the interviews is not accurate and sufficient. According to a recent survey, 81% of individuals polled admitted to lying in interviews in order to get the job, while another survey from the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) found that nearly one in five employers discovered candidates had given fraudulent references. As a result, it is not possible for employers to completely know applicants until they have actually started working for them. Even if the applicants do not lie, one-month probation can also provide more time for the employers to know if their future employees have the skills and abilities they expect. Personal statement in interviews is not absolutely reliable. Instead, only real working experience can test if they can well qualified for their applied positions.

　　For contacting the applicants’ previous employers and searching their social media, they not only cannot provide the benefits mentioned above, but also have other problems. If the HR manager contacts the previous company, the employer probably would only tell the merits and conceal the weaknesses of the applicant only because of their good working relationship and vice versa. In some large enterprises, it is highly possible that the employer even does not know every employee, so the information gained from this way is not accurate at all. Social media, such as online profile and social platform, also cannot tell the truth. For instance, a travelling photo or a video of doing sports is only a fragment of life, so other personal abilities or work-related skills cannot be fully revealed in these media. Even worse, many people only choose not to show their own flaws on these social platforms, through which it is extremely difficult for the employers to get to know their candidates.

　　To sum up, after interviews, compared with contacting applicants’ previous employers and searching their social media, giving applicants one-month probation period is the most effective and reliable way for employers to know more about the applicants.
