Frequently asked questions

Have questions? We're here to help!
What is Inbound Referencing?

Inbound Referencing is RefNow's solution to handling all of your company's incoming requests for current or ex-employees so you don't have to. The manual process involves a request being received by a company, finding the employees details, checking that the request has come from a reliable source by asking for proof of the employee's ID number and date of birth, waiting for this information and usually processing this request by sending out a PDF, email, or document to requestor.

Inbound Referencing solves this by removing that entire process into one simple action, upload your data or connect your HR system/ATS and we'll handle the rest.

How do I upload my ex-employees to RefNow's Inbound Referencing solution?

RefNow Inbound allows you to add current and ex-employees individually via our portal or in bulk using a CSV file.

How do employees provide consent to share their references?

We have built a GDPR compliant workflow process which allows current and ex-employees to quickly and easily provide their consent before any reference is sent to a requestor, giving them complete control of their data.

Can RefNow Inbound be used for Mortgage and Tenant references?

Yes, our system can provide employment verification, mortgage or tenant references. Employees have the option to include their salary details during the easy to use reference consent process.
