Frequently Asked Questions 

We ask your candidate to submit their reference details online. Then, they will receive an email with a link to confirm or amend the information. The referee will then answer a set of tailored questions about the candidate's performance, behaviour, and skills.

  • Consistency – With standardised documentation and questioning, you can ensure that each reference check is thorough and comparable across all candidates, making it easier to evaluate them fairly.

  • Eliminated Bias – You can prevent unconscious bias that may happen in phone conversations, ensuring that the information gathered is objective.

  • Greater Honesty and Accuracy – References can complete the survey in their own time, often leading to more thoughtful, accurate, and honest responses.

  • Flexibility for Referees - Referees can review, confirm, or amend details at their convenience, improving their overall experience.

Yes, we can tailor the reference questions to your company and role. Our robust system can ensure that the reference check provides the type of feedback you need.
