RefAssure automates employment reference checks for UK employers, recruitment agencies, schools and care providers.
Add a candidate and their referees in about two minutes. RefAssure collects the candidate's consent online, then sends each referee a secure link by email, and by text when a mobile number is given. If they do not reply, it reminds them automatically: 5 emails and up to 2 texts over 12 days, stopping the moment they submit. Bounced emails are flagged within minutes so you can add a new referee before a start date slips, and referees who reply by email instead of using the form have their reply captured against the candidate.
Every completed reference is a signed, timestamped PDF with a full audit trail of consent, requests, reminders and completion, ready for a client audit or an inspection.
Build your own questionnaires with ratings, yes or no, dates and free text, start from a ready-made template, or upload the reference form you already use (PDF or Word) and RefAssure turns it into a template in about 20 seconds.
Pricing is simple: your first reference is free, then 99p down to 80p per reference. No monthly fee, no contract, no per-user charges and credits never expire. Unlimited team members share one pool of credits. Data is hosted in the UK.
