You're In Good Company

We are a small HR team who do a lot of hiring. Many of the people we hire are based globally as well as Ireland so trying to find the time to conduct reference checks can be difficult with different time zones. The platform allows us to create role specific reference checks and conduct them at a time that works for the referee. There is the flexibility to send a form or do a call. We have noticed that we have significantly reduced the time to close out our positions and it's given us valuable time back to focus on other priorities.

As a global company, Volvo Group Recruitment gets references from all over the world. Refapp is facilitating our reference checking in different time zones and saves us a lot of time. It is also very appreciated to submit a professional, transparent, and objective report to the Recruiting Manager!

Recently, we transitioned to a new recruitment software, and it was so easy for us to just switch to their integration with Refapp and continue working with our reference checks just as usual. It couldn’t be any smoother!

At Jerrie & Maquire, we use Refapp to digitalise our reference checking process. The tool helps us become even more efficient, and it is easier to get in touch with referees, even internationally. The referees appreciate the possibility of being able to provide their answers in writing or by a phone call at an agreed time.

Most often, the references have submitted their answers in less than two days and the insights we collect make for confident hiring decisions. In addition, we get great feedback from both references and clients who appreciate the process.

After our extensive summer recruitment, we carried out a thorough analysis of time spent and user experience. We saved 359 hours, in other words, almost 9 weeks of full-time work, by using Refapp instead of conducting the reference selection in the traditional way.

We often say that Refapp continues to work even when we finish our workday. And when we come back the following day, we have the references neatly packaged in a report. The tool makes for a great experience for referees and candidates, and it saves us time!

I set out to find a way to streamline our reference checking process and came across Refapp in my research. Turned out to be exactly what we were needing! Previously our HR Coordinator had been reaching out to contacts individually to collect references, and trying to keep everything organized on our servers wasn’t always easy. We absolutely love the automation from Refapp now. All we have to do is click “initiate reference check” in our ATS system, and Refapp takes care of the rest! Nice to have one central location to find all the reports in as well. Will most likely implement in our other global office locations. In addition, the team at Refapp have been incredibly helpful with any questions or needs we have had along the way. Would recommend their services to anyone looking to streamline the reference checking process! Overall a great experience.
