Automate tamper-proof references when employees leave your organisation.
Connect HiBob to RefPassport and issue verified employment references as part of your offboarding workflow.
Three steps to fully automated references with HiBob.
Generate a service user API token in HiBob and paste it into your RefPassport settings. We use Bob's API to detect lifecycle events. Setup takes under 5 minutes.
When an employee's status changes to “terminated” or “offboarded” in Bob, RefPassport detects it automatically. No manual steps required.
A tamper-proof reference is created from the employee's Bob profile and delivered to them directly. They use it for their next role.
Transparency about the data RefPassport reads from your HiBob account.
Read-only access. We use read-only API access. We cannot modify, delete, or write any data in your HiBob account.
HiBob is built around people lifecycle management. RefPassport slots into your existing offboarding workflows to make references automatic.
HiBob's lifecycle feature lets you manage the entire employee journey from onboarding to offboarding. RefPassport listens for the offboarding status change and creates a verified reference as the final step in the process. No separate workflow, no manual triggers. It just happens as part of the lifecycle you already manage in Bob.
HiBob supports service user API tokens, meaning the integration is not tied to any individual's account. If the person who set it up leaves, the integration keeps running. You generate a service user in Bob with read-only permissions, paste the token into RefPassport, and the connection is maintained independently of staff changes.
We access employee name, job title, department, employment dates, and work email via HiBob's read-only API. We cannot modify any data in your HiBob account. Employee contact details are used only to deliver the reference and are not stored after delivery.
Yes. RefPassport listens for lifecycle status changes in Bob. When an employee moves through your offboarding workflow and their status changes to terminated, we detect it and create the reference automatically. This fits naturally into your existing offboarding process.
No. You provide an API token and we handle the rest. There are no webhooks, plugins, or middleware to configure.
Connect HiBob to RefPassport and never respond to a reference request again.
