The Reference Problem for Candidates

You're at the Mercy of Timing

You land a great interview, but your new employer needs a reference from your previous job. Your old manager is on holiday. The process stalls. You wait.

References Don't Travel

Every time you change jobs, the whole process starts again. Your new employer contacts your old employer. Again. It's slow, awkward, and unnecessary.

How RefPassport Works for You

A reference you can use again and again.

1

Your Employer Issues It

When you leave a role, your employer creates a RefPassport reference. It's a verified, tamper-proof document tied to their company domain.

2

You Share It

Send a link or the PDF to your new employer, recruiter, or anyone who needs to see it. It's your reference and you control who sees it.

3

They Verify Instantly

The recipient clicks the link or scans the QR code. In under a second, they confirm your reference is genuine. No calls to your old employer.

Builds Trust

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get a RefPassport reference?

Your employer issues you a RefPassport reference when you leave your role, just as they would with a traditional reference letter. The difference is that it's cryptographically signed and tied to their company domain. Ask your employer if they use RefPassport, or suggest they sign up (it's free for up to 5 references per month).

Is RefPassport free for candidates?

Yes. You don't need an account and there's nothing to pay. Your employer issues the reference and you receive a link and a PDF. You share these with future employers or recruiters whenever you need to. Verification is also free for anyone checking your reference.

What do employers see when they verify my reference?

They see confirmation that the reference is genuine and unaltered, the issuing organisation's domain, and the date it was issued. The full reference content is visible through the link or PDF you share with them. Only people you share it with can see the details.

Can my reference be revoked after I leave?

In rare cases, yes. If your former employer discovers something that warrants withdrawing your reference (such as a serious disciplinary matter), they can revoke it. This is the same as a traditional employer declining to give a reference. If your reference is revoked, anyone who tries to verify it will see that it has been withdrawn.

Can I use the same reference for multiple job applications?

Absolutely. That's the whole point. Once your employer issues a RefPassport reference, you can share it with as many prospective employers or recruiters as you like. Each one can verify it independently in seconds. You never need to ask your old employer to provide a reference again.
