Why Our Customers Love RefNow!
"It was a completely paper based and entirely manual process. Unsurprisingly, it was extremely time consuming and we would spend hours each day and up to 2 weeks in total on completing one candidate.
The fraud and vetting on RefNow is also really insightful, we feel much more secure and confident in who we are processing"
"The biggest positive of using RefNow is the trust and responsibility RefNow has with chasing and securing references, which we no longer have to do.
RefNow is extremely User friendly and our new starters can be comfortable using it within the first few reference requests they send off."
"Our workload has decreased dramatically. We were waiting on a backlog of over 200 candidates when we joined RefNow, that figure decreased almost 75% within weeks of signing up.
The automatic chasing was exactly what our team needed, as so much time has been freed up to now do other important tasks."
