Why RefNow exists

We were tired of spending too much time manually chasing up employment references for candidates, and we spoke to many other HR Professionals who also wanted to spend their time on more important tasks. That's why we created RefNow, and now over 12,000 companies have signed up too.

How it works

To use our automated referencing software, there are just 3 main steps:
1. Add your candidate to RefNow using our portal (takes 30 seconds).
2. Sit back and relax whilst our system collects and verifies the references.
3. Open the completed reference report and view the reference details.

Our software takes care of all the manual steps to chase the references, and sends you a report of the findings within 36 hours on average.

Features

Automated Follow-up Reminders

Automated Email and SMS Reminders are sent at regular intervals controlled by you. Our team will also chase-up via telephone when required.

Fraud Detection Warnings

Additional assurance that candidates are not attempting to provide fraudulent fake references with our fraud detection warning system.

Passport / Linkedin Verification

Allow both the candidate and referee to verify their identity using either LinkedIn or Passport level assurance for remote right-to-work checks.

Minimum # of References / Years

Choose to either request the most recent X references by number (1-10 references) or by number of years (the last 3 years of references).

Talent Pool Opt-in for References

Increase the size of your hiring talent pool by allowing references to opt-in to receiving job post alerts from your company in the future.

"We love RefNow!"

RefNow has helped us with everything! Not just in my volunteering team but our HR team as well, we feel like we have the support and speed that we need. Our references are coming back to us within days and most importantly, it all happens behind the scenes so we can finally get back to our day jobs and not have to chase people.
