References without the phone-tag.
Manage, track and approve employment references in one place. Invitations go to referees by email and SMS, chasing is automatic, and everything is logged for audit.
30-day free trial · No restrictions
A quarter of references are back within a day, four in five within ten – with the chasing done for you.
Referencing is essential – and nobody has time to chase it.
References sit on the critical path of every offer, and yet in most organisations they are still collected by email ping-pong and voicemail. Slow references delay start dates; incomplete ones create risk, especially where safeguarding applies.
ReferenceExpert automates the collection so your team only handles the decisions: a quarter of reference requests come back within 24 hours, and four in five within ten days.
Set it up once. Let it chase.

Decision-ready and data rich.
- Completed references in days, not weeks – with the chasing done for you
- A consistent, auditable process across every hire
- Safeguarding-appropriate formats where the role demands them
- One dashboard for HR and recruiting managers to track progress

Keep every template. Change nothing.
You’ve spent years refining how you take references – the questions that matter, the wording your sector expects, the safeguarding clauses you can’t do without. ReferenceExpert doesn’t ask you to start again: send us the reference formats you use today and we load them onto the platform exactly as they are. Your process stays yours – everything that was slow about it becomes fast, tracked and auditable.
Your templates, on the platform – invited, chased and audited for you.
Part of the system.
Referencing closes the loop that FindingPotential opens: assessment tells you who fits, references verify the record. Both feed the same candidate file – and the same platform your new joiner then meets in OnBoarder.
