Automatically request reference checks for your potential candidates without having to make a call or send an email!
Reference Checks by Aaron’s Department allows you to send out reference requests with minimal effort.
The Importance of Reference Checks
Reference checks play a crucial role in the recruitment process, giving employers a real insight into a potential candidate’s actual performance and attitude in the workplace. By asking the right questions, employers can find out all sorts of useful information on applicants. Strengths and weaknesses, ability to meet deadlines, how well they fit the culture, and more.
Get References Quickly
Requesting references for potential employees can be a real pain – sending emails and chasing up with calls. It’s surprising how difficult some organisations are to get through to!
Reference Checks by Aaron’s Department completely automates the process, chasing up incomplete references without you having to lift a finger.
If you’d like to speed up the process, we also have a team of consultants available to make calls and send extra emails to get through to the referee.


Audit References
Our Reference Audit is a premium verification service carried out by our team of trained compliance consultants. Each audit involves a full, independent review of the referee, their identity, and the accuracy of the reference provided.
Rather than simply accepting a completed form at face value, we dig deeper. Our team will cross-check the referee’s details against publicly available records, professional listings, and other online sources. Where necessary, we’ll also make direct follow-up calls to confirm authenticity and clarify any inconsistencies.
Every audit concludes with a detailed report outlining our findings, highlighting any potential risks or discrepancies, and giving you complete confidence in the references you rely on.
Streamline Your Reference Checks
First, provide us with the applicant’s name and email address, and how many references are required. We’ll then send an automated email asking them to nominate the referees.
In the meantime, you can design the questionnaire you want the referees to complete. This is totally customisable, with options for text-based answers, multiple choice, out-of-10 ratings, and more.
The nominated referees will be sent this form by email, and will be chased up by further automated emails until it’s completed. You’ll also have the option to request that our Operations Team call them, if they aren’t responding to emails.
You’ll be notified as soon as you get a response!
