How it works

What you’ll need

What you get back 

  • A written summary of each reference conversation, available to download. 

NOTE 

ChatRef runs the conversation and writes up the summary. The hiring judgement stays yours. 

What a reference tells you that a register can’t     

A reference confirms the work history a candidate has described: the roles they held, what they achieved and the skills they used, with someone who worked with them. It also shows you how they collaborate, how they adapt and if they’d fit the way your organisation works. 

Performance issues or workplace conflict come up while you can still act on them. Because referees respond in their own time, the single biggest cause of delay in a reference is gone. You are not relying on a game of phone tag! 

Every referee is asked the right questions and followed up on their answers, so you’re reading a consistent record across candidates rather than whatever the caller happened to ask. The written summary sits alongside every other verification on the person’s record.

Every reference sits alongside the person’s other verifications in Kinatico Compliance, so all the evidence behind a hiring decision is in one place.
