Frequently asked questions

Q: What is CheckMyRef.com?

Ans: CheckMyRef.com is an online platform that enables individuals to securely store their employment references, allowing them to reuse those references without needing to contact past employers every time a new one is required.

Q: How does CheckMyRef.com work?

Ans: Users create a profile on the platform and request employment references from previous employers via their official email addresses. Once the reference is provided, it is securely stored for future use, so it can be accessed and shared whenever needed.

Q: How do I invite someone to provide a reference?

Ans: After signing up and setting up your profile, you can request references by entering the official email address of your previous employer. They will receive an email invitation with a link to submit the reference.

Q: Can references be private?

Ans: Currently, we only process professional references. We plan to introduce other types of references, such as personal and client references, in future updates.

Q: How secure is my information on CheckMyRef.com?

Ans: We prioritize the security and privacy of our users by encrypting all data and complying with data protection regulations, ensuring that your information is stored safely and handled responsibly.

Q: Can I edit or remove a reference once it’s submitted?

Ans: You can modify your reference request before your previous employer submits the reference. Once the reference is provided, it cannot be edited, but you can choose whether to use it or not. You can also remove any reference from your profile if you decide not to use it.

Q: How long does it take for a reference to be verified?

Ans: Once a referee responds to your reference, the verification process can take anywhere from 24 to 72 hours. This is a premium service.

Q: How can employers use CheckMyRef.com to find candidates?

Ans: Employers can search through candidate reference profiles based on the skills attached to the references.

Q: What makes CheckMyRef.com different from traditional reference checks?

Ans: Unlike traditional reference checks, CheckMyRef.com offers a centralized platform where candidates can proactively collect and display their references, making it easier for employers to verify information and make hiring decisions right before the interview.

Q: What should I do if my reference request is declined?

Ans: If someone declines to provide a reference, you can either send a follow-up request or invite another individual within the organization who can vouch for your skills and experience.

Q: Can I see the content of my reference?

Ans: Unfortunately No as our system is designed with reference integrity in mind. Ideally you should not know the content of your reference as they are confidential information for prospective employers.
