Stop chasing references. Start placing candidates.
Verify references in seconds, not days. Give your consultants more time to do what they do best: filling roles.
References are the single biggest cause of delayed placements. The process hasn't changed in decades.
Chasing references from previous employers can take days or weeks. You email, you call, you chase again. Meanwhile, your candidate loses interest or accepts another offer. Every day of delay costs you money.
With hundreds of placements a month, manually verifying every reference is unrealistic. Fabricated references slip through the cracks. A single bad hire can cost your client tens of thousands in lost productivity and rehiring.
Your reputation with clients depends on the quality of your placements. One bad hire from a fabricated reference damages that trust. Verified references protect your placements and your brand.
Candidates share a link or PDF. You verify in under a second. No calls, no waiting, no follow-up emails that go nowhere.
Every reference is digitally sealed by the issuing employer. If anything has been altered, verification fails. You know what you're looking at is genuine.
Process hundreds of references without adding headcount. Your consultants check references in the same time it takes to open an email.
A candidate applies for a 6-month contract role through your agency. The client wants them to start in two weeks. Normally, you'd email the candidate's previous employer, wait three days, chase them, wait again, and hope the reference comes back before the start date.
The candidate shares their RefPassport link in their application. Your consultant clicks it, sees the verified reference with the issuing company's domain confirmed, and moves the candidate to the next stage. Total time: under a minute.
The placement goes through on schedule. The client is happy. And you've eliminated the risk of a fabricated reference without adding any admin overhead.
Now multiply that across your desk. If you're placing 50 candidates a month and each one needs two references, that's 100 reference checks. At an average of 3 days per reference, you're looking at weeks of accumulated delay across your pipeline. With RefPassport, those 100 checks take minutes in total.
Yes. Verifying a RefPassport reference is always free and requires no account. Your consultants simply click the verification link or scan the QR code. The only cost is for organisations that issue references, and even that starts with a free plan of 5 references per month.
Traditional reference checking involves emailing previous employers, waiting days for a response, and chasing non-replies. With RefPassport, candidates share a verification link and your consultant confirms the reference is genuine in under a second. This removes the biggest single cause of delayed placements.
If the previous employer hasn't issued a RefPassport reference, you'll need to verify through traditional channels. However, you can recommend that employers register on RefPassport (it's free for up to 5 references per month). The more employers that adopt it, the faster the entire recruitment process becomes.
Yes. Each verification takes under a second and requires no account or login. Whether you're verifying 5 references or 500, the process is the same: click the link, see the result. There are no per-verification fees and no limits on how many references you can check.
