Dear Somdatta,
I am attaching the copy of reference check that i usually conduct in my organization.
Hope that would be helpful for you.

Hi !
During your reference check:
Please go through the company's web-site for enquiry and call those numbers for a correct info regarding the dept head and concerned process.Ask the concerned head of him on the employee's salary,experience,designation and role.Ask him about his behaviour,conduct and character.
Regarding the performance appraisals,do the appraisal of your employees either by 360 degrees or by 180 degrees flat.It should be done and designed according to the company's policiesand industry grounds.
Havea nice day
