How to use Xref reference checking tool

We use an online tool to speed up reference checks during recruitment. You'll receive a link to a form where you provide your referees’ names, organizations, emails, and phone numbers. Each referee will then get a link to answer our questions.

You must nominate at least two employment referees (a third backup is recommended).

Referees should include your current and recent managers.

How to nominate your referees:

1. You'll get an email with instructions and a link.

2. Confirm you have your referees’ permission.

3. Enter and double-check your referees’ details before submitting.

4. Click submit.

Once submitted, referees receive an email with the form. If a referee doesn’t respond within 60 hours, you’ll be asked to nominate a new one.

Reference responses go to our recruitment team for assessment, and we’ll be in touch with you.
